Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
TAPSTICK (2) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track (Synthetic) over 1710m. Sure to feature again. MY FOOLISH NOTION (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Synthetic) over 1673m after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CADENCED (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on January 2, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths over 1710m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf). Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to stop. TWICE ENTICED (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1673m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into sixth. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Comes off a 52 day let-up. Last start second last of 10 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on March 11 over 1609m, 8 len behind Mr Funtastico carrying 55.5kg at $107.70. The run before that got back early 9th of 12 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on February 22 over 1710m, 16 len behind Alrasikh with 55.5kg at $100.70. Other runners are much more appealing.
