Gulfstream Park Race 8

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $47,753

VEKOMA VELOCITY (9) met with solid support last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Strong winning chance. SONIC SURGE (1) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Set for a bold return. EPICO (5) remains a maiden after three runs. Had plenty of admirers last time but could only manage to finish fourth over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Solid top-three chance on his best figures. ACTION DELIGHT (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather, beaten 13 lengths into seventh. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Resuming after a break; only one run when ran last in a small field at this track on December 26 over 1609m, 24 len behind Hawk with 54.5kg at $20.40. Others have firmer winning claims.

At debut, second last of 11 at Gulfstream Park Turf on February 13 over 1006m, 21 len behind Rebel With A Cause with 55.5kg at $21.10. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

Racing well recently. Most recently 4th of 9 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on February 8 over 1106m, 6 len behind Gray Astray carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on January 3 over 1207m, 7 len behind Sweeping Shadow with 55.5kg at $4.80. Can bounce back after a modest effort last time.

Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 7 at this track on December 13 over 1408m, 28 len behind Jackson Hole carrying 54.5kg at $70.30. Second-up ran last of 8 at this track on January 10 over 1408m, 44 len behind Chief Wallabee carrying 55.5kg at $67.10. A top-three finish would surprise.
