Gulfstream Park Race 3

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: -

I'M SAM (4) Attacked the line when 3rd last time at the track. Jockey Micah J Husbands consistently rides well for this stable. Should get going late. Solid claims. HARD TALK (2) Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time at this venue. Has the potential to improve sharply and has a positive draw. Good to see jockey Edwin Gonzalez is jumping on. Key player. ENCHANTING TALE (3) Ran on strongly to win last time around here. Will be hitting the line strongly. Jr Victor Barboza has been training plenty of winners recently. Can win. TECHNO MUSIC (5) First up from a break of 42 weeks. Was dominant when winning by a margin of 4L last time at this track and showing improvement in recent outings. Keep in mind.

Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 2L last time around here and has drawn to do little work. Should be going forward early. Would be more keen on the chance of others.

Was $7.50 and subpar when 7th last time around here. Has the potential to improve sharply and drawn nicely. Great to see jockey Edwin Gonzalez taking the ride. Has claims.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time here. Jockey Micah J Husbands and trainer Saffie A Joseph Jr make an imposing pair. Possesses good closing speed. Major chance.
