Gulfstream Park Race 11 - Race 11 - Maiden Special Weight
EMPRESS NEW GROOVE (7) closed last prep 12 weeks ago when she finished ninth over 1609m at this track. Well placed and should be tough to beat. JUST IN TOUCH (6) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic), finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. MOHAWK MOON (3) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 5 lengths from the winner in seventh at this track (Turf) over 1609m. With the blinkers added she is one to watch at the second run back. GIVE YOUR BEST (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1509m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
