Gulfstream Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
MUST BE THE SHOES (6) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1509m, beaten 2.5 lengths. Improvement to come and this is her chance to break through. DO I LOOK WORRIED (1) was in contention on the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1006m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. I LOVE INES (4) finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1006m at this track, an improvement on her fifth at Gulfstream Park the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. FANTASY WORLD (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1006m at this track (Synthetic), beaten 0.3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. In the right race and is a top-three hope.

Form hard to fault. Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at this track on April 3 over 1006m, 0.3 len behind Starship Vengeance carrying 54kg at $7.70. The race before that 4th of 7 at Gulfstream Park on March 26 over 1207m, 5 len behind Cassadaga carrying 57kg at $4.10. Doesn't need to improve much to play a big role.
