Gulfstream Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Maiden Optional Claiming

MELODY MAN (5) just missed last time out when second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Winning chance. KRAKEN (6) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1006m here last time. Will drift back but will be getting home hard. GALLANT LAD (8) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing sixth over 1710m at this track (Turf). Expected to be in the finish. AUTHENTIC LEGEND (11) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
