Gulfstream Park Race 2

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $87,859

VALIANT HOPE (1) First time at the races 3yo by Valiant Minister for Jr Edward Plesa, and drawn the rails. Paco Lopez is a suitable booking. Betting is the best guide. AS ADVERTISED (3) War Of Will 3yo trained by Mark E Casse having first race appearance. Respect the betting. SHE'S A GAMER (6) Tired in the run home when 4th last start at this track. Should muster plenty of early speed. Edwin Gonzalez rates highly aboard. Suitably placed in this race. CLOSE UP (7) Caught the eye when 2nd last start at this track. Jorge Ruiz and J Kent Sweezey are an imposing duo. Shows good finishing speed. Big danger.
