Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
FINAL PAYMENT (3) broke his maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 5.5 lengths into second over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. MCMULLEN (8) finished fourth last time out over 1408m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and should be tough to beat. STOP BEING GREEDY (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SWEET LAZARUS (7) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 14 lengths over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
