Gulfstream Park Race 7 - Ghostzapper S. Presented By FanDuel TV Stakes
GRANDE (2) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 1609m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 0.8 lengths. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and looms as the one to beat again. FORGED STEEL (1) showed good pace over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 6 lengths. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. CAPITAL IDEA (4) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 5 lengths away in second when resuming last start over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt). Takes on tougher opposition this time but he should be very competitive. LIGHTNING TONES (6) is back at the races for the first time since January 24. Scored over 1710m at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
