Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Optional Claiming
EMERALD EMBER (5) is fresh from a spell of ten months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track (Turf) over 1006m. In a different yard now. Nicely placed and expected to go well. ELENIQUE (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1006m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SENTA SAYS (6) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1006m at this track on debut. Will be winding up late. MISS SOOTHSAYER (13) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1006m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
