Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
OPERATION OVERLORD (1) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) on November 13. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. GOLD SOVEREIGN (6) resumes from a spell of three months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1811m at Keeneland (Turf). Opened last prep with a minor placing at Kentucky over 2112m. Nicely placed and expected to go well. INSPEIGHTOFCHARLIE (2) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 1.3 lengths away in second over 1710m at this track (Synthetic) when he was prominent throughout. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. PEAK PERFORMER (7) finished second last start over 2012m at Turfway Park (Synthetic), beaten 4.5 lengths. Has the talent to find winning ways.
