Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

CAPTURE THE FLAG (6) Closed off nicely when 5th last run here and stepping up in distance. Jockey John R Velazquez and trainer Todd A Pletcher must be respected together. Underrated. NATIVE SHAMAN (2) Resuming after a break. Improved to place when 2nd last time at Churchill Downs and stepping up in trip. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is a strong choice aboard. Must respect. LEGITIMIZE (3) Set the tempo when winning last start at Tampa Bay Downs and promising career start. Has plenty of early speed. Going up in trip. Will be competitive. MEYER (4) First up after 11 weeks and made some ground late when 2nd beaten by 2L first up last preparation at Woodbine. Shows good early pace. Back to a longer distance. One of the major players.
