Gulfstream Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
STEP SLOW (2) Didn't attack the line when 6th last run here. Happy to overlook that run and gets a favourable draw. Looks well suited in this race. VALUED EFFORT (3) 3yo debutant by Long On Value for J David Braddy. Jockey Edwin Gonzalez is a strong choice aboard. Watch betting. FINDING CANDY (5) Didn't threaten when 8th last run around here. Expecting improvement here. One of the better chances. DONT ROCK THE BOAT (6) Racing fresh after a break of 61 weeks. Tailed off to finish 5th last run around here. Expecting improvement. Should muster plenty of early toe. Appears well in this.

First up after a break of 66 weeks. At $36.00 was well beaten when 7th last start here but has a nice advantage with a good draw. Unlikely to feature.

At $5.00 lost ground in the run home when 6th last run here. Happy to overlook that run and can find a nice position from the draw. Should go very close.

3yo first starter by Long On Value for trainer J David Braddy. Edwin Gonzalez is a key engagement. Watch the market.

Back after break of 64 weeks. Odds of $36.00 and weakened under pressure when 7th last time here. Looks hopeful at best.
