Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Special Weight
EXQUISITE (3) Was overpowered late when 3rd last time at this track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Won't be far away during the run. Will be down in distance. Should be right in the finish. LONDON (2) Came on strongly when 2nd beaten by 5L last run around here and putting a tidy record together. Amongst the placegetters frequently this preparation and has a good draw. Rates well in this race. ESCARGOT (5) Finished with intent when 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last time at this venue and showing consistent performance in races. Finishes off strongly. In good racing form this campaign. Key player. JACKIE BLUE (4) Resuming after a 34 week break. Didn't find the line when 7th last start at Oaklawn Park and down in trip. Gains the services of jockey Edwin Gonzalez. Follow market leads.

Started $6.00 and didn't attack the line when 5th last start at this venue but was on debut last time. Jr Victor Barboza stable are on a hot streak. Hard to see this being good enough.

Solid effort to run into 2nd beaten by 5L last run around here and solid career start. Going well this campaign and has a positive draw. Suited against these.

Grabbed towards the finish when 3rd beaten by just short of 8L last time at the track and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early toe. Down in distance. Tough competitor.

First up after a break of 34 weeks. At $14.00 couldn't stay in touch when 7th last start at Oaklawn Park and coming back in trip. Watching with interest.

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last time at this venue and good career start. Can go through the gears. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. Good chance of taking this out.

Resuming after a spell of 39 weeks. Jumped at $14.00 and not in contention when 5th last start here but was a debutant last start. Back in trip. Not likely to pull off the victory.
