Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
DELIGHTFUL DARLING (13) was resuming from a spell of three months last start when a solid second over this course and distance. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Will play a major role. PARIS CARVER (7) is an imported three-year-old having his first run in this area for the Jorge Delgado barn. Hasn't raced since she finished 16th over 1005m in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Ascot nine months ago. Not seen at the trials but a bold showing expected. PEARL OF PEARL (14) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1006m. Likely improver with strong prospects. IGNIS COR (15) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1006m at this track (Turf) on February 14. Has upside and can measure up.
