Gulfstream Park Race 9

Claiming

Stake: $62,657

TORCH IS PASSED (1) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1106m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. AEGON TARGARYEN (4) made progress last start to finish third over 1006m at this track after being prominent at the turn. Going up a level this time but he cannot be underestimated. STREET ROD (5) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 7 lengths over 1006m at this track (Synthetic). Best form augers well for this. CARCONE (6) drifted back early when resuming last start and could only manage a 5.5 lengths sixth over 1006m at this track (Turf). Has a decent second up record. Can do better this time.
