Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

SMART STRIKER (2) finished third two runs back at this track (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by a nose over 1509m at this track (Turf). Edwin Gonzalez scored on him last time and retains the ride. Nicely placed to go back-to-back. STICKY MCSHNICKENS (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish one length away in second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DRINK N WINK (1) was far from disgraced when fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1509m at this track, beaten a nose. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. JACK KEROUAC (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1509m at this track, beaten just 0.9 lengths. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
