Gulfstream Park Race 10

Hurricane Bertie S. Stakes

Stake: $293,981

NIC'S STYLE (1) Rounded them up to win last start at Tampa Bay Downs and making an impact with consistent achievements. Won last 3 on the trot and gets the perfect barrier. Winning chance in what appears a suitable race. R DISASTER (4) Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 3L last time at the track. Edgard J Zayas takes the reins today. Should come to hand quickly. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. SPIRIT WIND (6) Proven record when resuming. Picked up nicely to win last time at Oaklawn Park. Should muster plenty of early speed. Saffie A Joseph Jr stable are on fire recently. Must be considered. SAVE TIME (5) Ran on strongly to win last run here but back in trip. Jockey Dyke Drayden Van and trainer Saffie A Joseph Jr are a strong combination. One of the hopes.
