Gulfstream Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

NICKEL C (3) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. TIMEFRAME (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a leading contender. I'M SAM (5) bounced back last start and scored by 10 lengths after being prominent at the bend over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. JUSTIN SMILES (6) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather, beaten only 1.3 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on April 17 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Ababajoni with 56kg at $8.20. The race before that 4th of 8 at this track on March 6 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Ababajoni carrying 55.5kg at $8.10. Working up to a win. Worth following.

Last start 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on April 9 over 1673m, 11 len behind Bolero Bay with 54.5kg at $8.90. The race before that came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track March 1 over 1609m defeating Science Rockets with 55.5kg at $7.90. Prefer to watch at this stage.

Returns from a 40-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield and scored a big 10 len win at Gulfstream Park All Weather March 22 over 1673m defeating Magneto carrying 55kg at $8.40. Before that second last in a small field at Gulfstream Park in LR on March 14 over 1207m, 7 len behind Fulmine carrying 54.5kg at $41.10. Big chance to go back-to-back.
