Gulfstream Park Race 2

Maiden Claiming

Stake: $46,263

ARAUCANO (8) finished 16 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. The one to beat in this line up. FINAL PAYMENT (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. EXPERT WITNESS (1) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Ready to go one better. MAGIC RED (4) ran a better race last time at his second career start when fifth over 1710m at this track (Synthetic). Has upside and is worth including.
