Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
MO HIJINX (4) scored by 4 lengths over this distance at this track (Dirt) last time out. Form here strong boasting two wins from four starts. One of the major players. DAKOTA'S LIL AUROR (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 9 lengths away in third over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. TURKISH PISTACHIO (7) ran below expectations last time at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 13 lengths starting at $4.70. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. R TUN WHO (3) showed good early speed over 1308m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 4.5 lengths. Can sneak into the finish again.

Most recently second last of 7 at Gulfstream Park Turf on February 26 over 1006m, 6 len behind Viable Asset with 54.5kg at $4.80.

Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Second-up. First-up after two months second last of 8 at Gulfstream Park Turf on March 5 over 1609m, 10 len behind Oscar Bound with 54.5kg at $21.90. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at this track December 7 over 1207m defeating Turkish Pistachio carrying 54.5kg at $6.30. Needs to do a lot more.

Having third race start. At debut, settled back and ran on when 6th of 9 at this track on January 4 over 1207m, 10 len behind Jestina carrying 55.5kg at $6.30. Last start favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at this track February 5 over 1308m defeating Angelic Quality with 55.5kg at $2.40. Should be right in the finish.
