Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming
STRIKING FINALE (1) Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at this venue and can save some energy from the draw. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Winning claims. SUNFISH (2) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last start at the track and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Underrated. LA RODADA (6) Weakened under pressure when 7th last run at this venue. Should bounce back but racing in stronger company. Should jump out and bowl along. Respect in this event. DEL MAR SUNRISE (3) Made ground when closing off to finish 4th last start around here but rising in grade. Have to respect the recent stable form. Capable of getting into the money.

Jumped at $14.00 and hit the line well when 4th last start around here but facing a stronger group of contenders. Have to respect the recent Nicholas J Tomlinson form. Can figure in the finish.

Was $23.00 and came in 4th last time here and matched against tougher rivals. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Can't have.

Odds of $18.00 and gave away some ground when 5th last run around here. Expecting improvement but up against tougher competition. Has plenty of early speed. Value play.

At $6.50 faded to finish 7th last run here. Should bounce back but challenged by a tougher grade. Will be positive in the run early. Can win this.
