Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

JAYHAWK (8) finished sixth two runs back at this track (Turf) then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as favourite after being in the firing line on the turn over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. JIM'S HOPE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. WALTER ME LAD (1) has been out of the winners list for a long time, last start finishing third at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1710m. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. SHINIGAMI (2) has switched yards since finishing fourth six weeks ago over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. One of the genuine hopes in the race.
