Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SPEAK EASY (8) was safely held last time when fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). May appreciate the step back in journey this time. Can bounce back. MR PEEKS (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when seventh, beaten 13 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. MISH (7) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 2 lengths, at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) over 1207m. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. TO THE EASTSIDE (3) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Deserves respect on best figures.

Most recently second last of 8 at this track on December 26 over 1207m, 13 len behind Back Em Up with 54.5kg at $31.30. The start before that 4th of 7 at this track on November 23 over 1207m, 5 len behind Beach Colt carrying 55kg at $5.20. Capable of more – worth another chance.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at Oaklawn Park April 13 over 1710m, 1.75 len behind Systemic Change carrying 54.5kg at $5.70. Previous preparation first-up won by 0.3 len Zia Park December 17 2024 over 1308m defeating Leave Them Behind carrying 55kg at $3.80. This looks too tough.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up ran last in a small field at this track on November 14 over 1207m, 20 len behind Chrome Ghost carrying 55kg at $2.70. Second run from a spell sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Tampa Bay Downs on January 3 over 1207m, 2 len behind Gianluca Be Lucky with 53.5kg at $4.40. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1308m.

The start before that eased back early on second last in a small field at this track on November 14 over 1207m, 6 len behind Chrome Ghost with 55kg at $2.90. Can atone for a modest effort last time.
