Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
STRIKING FINALE (3) is a seven-start maiden who has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1509m at this track (Turf). Has a decent record at this track with four minor placings from five runs. Will prove tough to beat. ZARAFA (4) settled back on debut last start then made a dash forward before the turn and stuck on well to finish third over 1509m at this track (Turf). Sure to take a lot from that run and will pay to follow. MAX (6) was only 0.1 lengths from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to her name. One of the main contenders. PEARL OF PEARL (10) finished 8 lengths away in sixth at her last appearance over 1006m at this track (Turf) on March 19 after she gave away a big start. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at this track on March 19 over 1673m, nose behind Faena carrying 55.5kg at $3.60. The run before that 5th of 8 at this track on February 14 over 1006m, 3 len behind Calypso Moon with 55.5kg at $7.80. Close-up last start but this looks a stretch.
