Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MESSAGE OF HOPE (6) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1609m at this track, beaten 3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. TRY TO MAKE CENTS (7) hasn't been far away since a maiden win six runs back, the latest effort a third over 1609m at this track (Turf) on December 21. Generally goes well here. Likely to feature. ARAUCANO (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. One of the main contenders. IL ALCHEMYSTA (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Synthetic) over 1710m. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. Something for the Multiples: ESPERANZITO (4) POWER FROM ABOVE (3)
