Gulfstream Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Optional Claiming
URGENCY (11) was in the firing line on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. DA PRINCE IS RIGHT (8) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1710m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf). Ready to find winning form. FOUR COURTS (9) is a three-year-old colt on debut by Leinster from Citizen Advocate who has in turn produced the winner of a black type. Has the right credentials to make a bright start to his career despite an awkward draw. DR. JEKYLL (4) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 1.75 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again. Something for the Multiples: WIN STREET (10) PLAYFUL PAL (5)
