Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Benny The Bull H. Stakes

EL PRINCIPITO (3) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1006m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Winning rider J Ferrer stays aboard. Sure to play a big role. SHAQ DIESEL (7) is a distance specialist who has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back in stakes class at this track (Dirt), most recently beaten 2.5 lengths into second over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. THE GOLDEN GORILLA (4) was an emphatic winner last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider Jose E Morelos engaged. Should be poised just off the lead. Capable of testing this field. PURE CLASS (1) finished third last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
