Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SHADES OF JADE (2) Tailed off to finish 6th last time around here. Has the talent to rebound quickly and drawn nicely. Up in grade. Looks promising in this race. MISS VYVYANNE (7) Proven record first up. Set the tempo to win by a margin of a head last run at Woodbine and ideal distance as proven previously. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Suitably placed in this race. VINDICATE CHA CHA (1) First up after 9 weeks and set the pace when winning by 2 3/4L first up last preparation around here. Won't be far away during the run. Drawn well. Not out of this. GREENFIELD COUGAR (5) Improved when 5th last time at this track and have to respect the form at this distance. Possesses very good closing speed. Up against tougher competition. Hard to knock and looks a nice each way proposition.

Jumped at 9/4 and struggled with the pace when 6th last time at the track. Has the talent to rebound quickly and can find a nice position from the draw. Good chance at a nice price.

Was 27/1 and faded to finish 5th last start here and rising in grade. Andrea L Puckett stable are in good form of late. Performing honestly this preparation. Few more classier types in this race.

Fresh after a break. Managed to run into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last start at Churchill Downs and matched against lesser competition. Should get going late. Could be in the mix.

Has multiple wins when resuming. Dictated terms in front to win by a margin of a head last run at Woodbine and strong form at the trip. Rates as one of the key chances.

Was 10/1 and faded away to finish 7th last start here but will be well suited at the distance. Edwin Gonzalez is a suitable booking but facing a stronger grade. Watch for a sign in the market.
