Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
THE BRIGADE (9) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when second over 1710m at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. THEMANUPFRONT (2) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Boasts four wins here. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. SHRUG (5) is resuming from a spell of three months and having his first run for the Nolan Ramsey yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Sound top-three prospects. REPLEVIN (4) comes here off a last-start eighth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1710m at this track. Major contender.

Resumes after a break of three months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fourth of 9 at this track January 1 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Souper Attentive with 56kg at $2.80. When resuming last campaign second of 11 at Monmouth Park Turf June 21 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind I'm On Fire carrying 55kg at $20. Should be right in the finish.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign second of 9 at Ellis Park Turf July 26 over 1811m, a 0.3 lengths behind King Curlin carrying 51.5kg at $6.97. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 5 len win. Tampa Bay Downs Turf April 6 over 1609m defeating Latin Force with 56.5kg at $1.50. May need more time.
