Gulfstream Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Optional Claiming
MALBEC (2) Back after a break of 58 weeks. Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run here and drawn nicely. Angel Rivera provides some weight relief. Take beating. PIKE (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last run at this venue. Ready to win. WOODSTER (4) Moved through the field into 4th last run at this venue. Have to respect the recent Saffie A Joseph Jr form. Edwin Gonzalez rates highly aboard. Can feature. MARILYN'S MATE (6) Folded up in the straight when 5th last start at the track. Edgar Perez and Michael Lerman are a strong team. Has shown early pace in races to date. Solid place bet prospects.

At $18.00 tailed off to finish 5th last start around here. Jockey Edgar Perez and trainer Michael Lerman are a combination worth following. Shows good early pace. A threat to the other main hopes.
