Gulfstream Park Race 9

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $47,076

ST OLAF ROSE (3) has five wins and four minor placings from 12 starts this preparation. Scored last start by 4.5 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1408m after being handy all the way. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. SADIE THE GOAT (5) is having her first run since November 15. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from four starts, the latest over 1408m at Charles Town at the start of last prep. Should be prominent. IT'S ONLY WORDS (8) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by half a length over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time out. Jose E Morelos who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Sure to be competitive. JUST A PHILLY (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 16 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1408m at this track. The engagement of Edgard J Zayas is a positive move. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. Something for the Multiples: POP ROX (7) MAERDAMA (2) ST. OLAF ROSE (3) NEOM CITY (1)

Comments

Comes off a 49 day let-up. At the latest run won by 4 len at this track December 21 over 1207m defeating Little Town Street with 55.5kg at $1.80. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on November 23 over 1106m, 3 len behind Roxy carrying 56kg at $2.80. Might just find this a bit too tough.

Recent form sound. Last start favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 4.5 len at this track January 11 over 1408m defeating Cap Ferrat with 54kg at $3.20. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track on November 21 over 1106m, 4 len behind On The Payroll carrying 55kg at $8.10. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.
