Gulfstream Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
FORZA AZZURRI (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at this track (Synthetic) over 1710m, beaten 15 lengths. Likely improver and worth following up. SCIENCE ROCKETS (7) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at this track (Turf). Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. GANADOR (8) finished 8 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1509m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who keeps coming. Capable of a big run. HOTTER THAN DEM (5) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Turf), finishing eighth and beaten 23 lengths over 1609m. Nicely placed to bounce back.
