Gulfstream Park Race 4

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: $66,773

TORCH IS PASSED (4) Finished 4th last start here. Looking for an improved run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Recent form of the stable is strong. Major chance. TO MONARCH (6) Assumed control from the start when winning by 2 3/4L last run at Turfway Park and form has been improving over recent runs. Should race on the speed. One of the better chances. CARCONE (3) On a short back up. Ran past a few when 5th last start at this venue and promising career start. In good order since coming back from a break. Better claims. NOSTALGIA'S SMILE (1) Tailed off to finish 5th last time at the track. Expected to rebound and gets a favourable alley. One of the hopes.
