Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
SWEETCITY (8) Resuming after a spell. Close to a win last start here. Should be going forward early. Rasheed Hughes and Saffie A Joseph Jr are usually competitive together. One of the better chances. GUNS OF ROSES (4) 3yo by Gun Runner racing as a debutant for Saffie A Joseph Jr. Added confidence with Micah J Husbands doing the steering. Watch the betting. HELLO POOCHY LOU (5) Didn't threaten when 6th last run at this venue. Happy to overlook that run and good career start. Should come to hand quickly. The large claim from Pedro Pena helps. One of the major players. LADY ROCKULA (7) Just shy of the win last time here. Miguel Angel Vasquez usually performs well for this stable. Must respect.

Was $16.00 and edged past some when finishing 5th last run around here and fitter for debut run. Might have to make up considerable ground. Can't suggest backing.

Initial appearance 3yo by Gun Runner for Saffie A Joseph Jr. Micah J Husbands rates highly. Keep your eye on the market.

Was $5.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last run at the track. Happy to overlook that run and putting a tidy record together. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

First run back from a 33 week break. Jumped at $18.00 and average at best when 6th last start around here. First appearance for a new trainer. Have to look elsewhere.

Narrowly denied a win last time around here. Jockey Miguel Angel Vasquez and trainer Carlos A David deserve serious attention. Solid prospects.
