Gulfstream Park Race 7

Claiming

Stake: -

WESTERN SHAFT (1) Peaked on the run when 2nd last start here and has minimal work to do from the draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. Back to more ground. Right in this. ROGER THAT DANA (2) Led and controlled the pace to win by 1 3/4L last time at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. Coming to a new trainer. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TEDDY BEAR (4) Displayed good finishing speed when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at this track but up against a more competitive field. Has very good closing speed. Could pose a threat and looks promising. CUDDLE THE KITTEN (6) Good performance to run into 3rd beaten by 5 3/4L last start here and up against a less challenging field. Has a great burst of speed late. Has scope so do not ignore.

Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 2nd beaten by 4 1/4L last start here and coming back up in distance. Displays good tactical speed. Drawn beautifully. Very capable of taking this out.

Led throughout when winning by a margin of 1 3/4L last time at this track and will try to take advantage of the draw. First appearance for a new trainer. Goes well and could be a value opportunity.

At $36.00 tailed off to finish 8th last start around here and racing in stronger company. Not likely to pull off the victory.

Came on strongly when 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last time at the track but facing a stronger group of contenders. Always seems to find the line well. Could take this out.

At $16.00 didn't attack the line when 5th last start at this track. Should jump out and bowl along. Jonathan Santos takes a large claim. Prefer others.

Showed a good turn of foot when 3rd last start at this track and competing in a lower grade. Finishes off strongly. Win won't shock.

Started at $9.50 and kept chasing when 4th last time at this track but up against a higher level of opposition. Jonathan Ocasio and Sal Santoro are a proven combination. Should be in the finish.
