Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
FUOCO VIVO (4) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1006m at this track (Synthetic). Positive ride expected again and should prove tough to beat. GOLD PERL (6) returns from a spell of 11 weeks and did score first-up when last in work at this track (Synthetic) over 1106m. Lines up for the first time for the Saffie A Joseph (Jnr) stable. Definite winning chance this line-up. FEAR (5) settled well back last start and never threatened when 15 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1106m at this track (Synthetic). Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WIN N JUICE (7) was well in the market when resuming last start but failed to threaten when a disappointing fifth at this track (Synthetic) over 1106m. Should do much better.

Third race start. Won on debut ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf October 16 over 1006m defeating Jr Sweet Feet with 54.5kg at $3.70. Went for a spell before returning ran last in a small field at Gulfstream Park on January 29 over 1408m, 52 len behind Rockies Balboa with 54.5kg at $7.60. Unlikely to threaten.

Comes here off a 52-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.0 len at Gulfstream Park January 8 over 1207m defeating Simo At The Big A with 55.5kg at $33.80. The run before that raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Gulfstream Park on December 12 over 1408m, 11 len behind My Favorite Bird carrying 53.5kg at $8.90. Tempted to look elsewhere on recent form.

Third-up today. Resuming raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Gulfstream Park Turf on January 9 over 1006m, 4 len behind I C Light with 55.5kg at $7.80. Second run from a spell ran last in a small field at this track on February 13 over 1106m, 15 len behind Shipmate carrying 55.5kg at $10.90. Capable of a better showing. Respect.
