Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Optional Claiming
UNDERCOVER AGENT (1) is a four-start maiden who was close to a win before a three months break, finishing off with a minor placing at Woodbine. Inside draw will assist. Sure to go very well. TICKET TO RIDE (2) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1207m at Aqueduct (Turf). Bold showing expected. MIS BRUNELLAS (4) finished 9 lengths from the winner in seventh last time out over 1710m at Aqueduct (Turf) on November 15. Among the chances. ROYAL RETINUE (9) finished 5 lengths from the winner in eighth after being prominent at the corner at her most recent appearance over 1006m at this track (Turf). Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
