Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Leinster Melody Of Colors S. Stakes
MYSTICAL BELLE (4) First up today. Went to the front and never looked back when winning by 1 3/4L last time at this venue and solid career start. Has the ability to figure. VIABLE ASSET (3) Set the tempo when winning by a margin of 2L last start at this venue but competing at a higher class. Worth strong consideration. LENNILU (1) First up and displayed a good turn of foot when winning first up last preparation here. Expecting to settle positively. Going down in grade. Has to be included. ROCKYTA (6) Reeled them in when winning last time at the track. Has not missed the money this preparation in 2 attempts. Always seems to find the line well. Has claims.

First up and romped home to win first up last preparation at this venue. Likely to be well placed early. Jockey Luis Saez usually performs well for this stable. Watch betting.

On a short back up. Jumped at $23.00 and looked outclassed when 5th last start at this venue but can find a nice position from the draw. Will need everything to go right.

Led and controlled the pace to win by 2L last start around here but racing in stronger company. Flawless this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

Back after a break. Made every post a winner when winning by 1 3/4L last time around here and showing consistent performance in races. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Good chance in this.

At $23.00 mediocre performance when 7th last start at this venue and down in distance. Has shown early pace in races to date. Matched against a stronger field. Few more classier types in this race.

Back after a 28 week spell. Charged home to win last start at Colonial Downs and was on debut last time. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Prefer in an easier race.

Resumes after a spell. Was in the race for a long way when 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L last time at this venue. Irad Ortiz Jr rates highly aboard. Likely to be an exotics contender.
