Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
MIDNIGHT MARTINI (4) was a most impressive winner on debut over 1006m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf), putting 2 lengths on her nearest rival. Gets some weight relief this time. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts her right in this. AUGUSTINIAN (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track (Synthetic), most recently beaten 1.5 lengths into second over 1106m at this track (Synthetic) when he was always up in the leading division. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SKIPPING STARS (6) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 4 lengths away in sixth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) on December 7. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will be in this for a long way. REBEL WITH A CAUSE (2) kicked off this prep with a win three weeks ago, scoring over 1006m at Gulfstream Park Turf. One of the key contenders.
