Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
SANSONE (5) is back after a break of nine months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1673m at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Opened last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1408m. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. MIZZOU (7) raced on pace for much of the way before fading in the straight to finish sixth, beaten 14 lengths, over 1408m here last time. Expected to measure up here. Worth another try. WHEELHOUSE (6) is a nine-start maiden who wasn't far away last time when second over 1408m at this track (Dirt) on January 30. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. One of the contenders. LUZ DE GUIA (3) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.75 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 9 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on January 30 over 1710m, 6 len behind Three Percent carrying 55.5kg at $2.80. Fair effort on debut but may need more racing.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run in a small field at this track on January 30 over 1408m, 9 len behind Cant Stop Munnings with 56kg at $1.80. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at this track on January 3 over 1408m, 0.8 len behind Playing Tricks with 53.5kg at $11.20. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Resumes after a break of nine months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation second in a small field at Monmouth Park June 1 over 1673m, 1.3 len behind The Boondocker with 54kg at $1.60. First up last campaign second of 7 at this track March 19 over 1408m, 1.5 len behind Fort Sam with 53.5kg at $4.60. Has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work.

Comes here off a 57-day let-up. Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at this track on January 3 over 1408m, 14 len behind Playing Tricks with 56kg at $3. Before that 3rd of 9 at Churchill Downs on November 28 over 1207m, 4 len behind Vital Mind with 55.5kg at $8.86. Can make amends.
