Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Orchid S. Stakes
BELLEZZA (7) is back from a break of five months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when sixth over 2213m in the G1 Breeders' Cup FM Turf at Del Mar Turf (Turf). Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DONA CLOTA (4) is a handy galloper who was 1.3 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 2213m at this track. Leading player. JUST BASKING (2) finished third when resuming two runs back at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by half a length over 2213m in the G3 The Very One Stakes at this track (Turf). Javier Castellano scored on her last time and retains the ride. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SPEED SHOPPER (5) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Scored over 2012m at Turfway Park to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
