Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
NINJA STAR (12) drifted back over 1673m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths. Well placed and the one to beat. NATE THE GREAT (3) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) most recently. Well placed to make a big impression. BACKONTHECHAINGANG (10) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2.25 lengths last time out over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Should be prominent in the run despite the wide draw. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. NAVY CROSS (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 3 lengths away in fifth over 1673m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Last start 2nd of 7 at this track on March 5 over 1673m, 0.3 len behind Rock The Stars carrying 56kg at $9.70. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track February 20 over 1710m defeating Giftedbydesign carrying 56kg at $6. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.
