Gulfstream Park Race 11 - Army Mule S. Stakes
MACHO MUSIC (9) finished fourth over 1308m in the G2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 25. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SCOTLAND (3) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1408m at Saratoga. Has found a suitable race. OWEN ALMIGHTY (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance in Group 3 grade at Keeneland (Dirt) over 1408m on October 18. Definite top-three chance. JACK'S PROMISE (8) was an impressive winner last time over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 3 lengths on his rivals. Will find this much easier. Well placed and not to be discounted.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 8 at Turfway Park in LR on February 13 over 1308m, 3 len behind G T Five Hundred with 54.5kg at $3.64. The run before that 5th of 7 at this track in the G3 Mr Prospector Stakes on December 27 over 1408m, 11 len behind Knightsbridge with 55.5kg at $8.10. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 7 at this track on February 14 over 1609m, 21 len behind Grande carrying 55kg at $2.90. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track in the G3 Fred W. Hooper Stakes on January 24 over 1609m, 5 len behind Knightsbridge carrying 53.5kg at $27.70. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Tampa Bay Downs on March 6 over 1207m, 4 len behind Mad House carrying 53.5kg at $8.90. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs on February 15 over 1408m, 6 len behind Pentathlon carrying 53.5kg at $14.20. Racing okay but look elsewhere.
