Gulfstream Park Race 1

Maiden Claiming

Stake: $44,510

THEO'S THUNDER (1) is in the right form, last time out finishing second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Ideally placed to open his account. SIOUX (5) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished sixth at this track (Dirt) over 1207m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Juan Alvarado. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. AIR FORCE ROYALTY (7) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. LUMBER LEGACY (6) returns after seven months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Can kick off with a bold showing.
