Gulfstream Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Special Weight
MELODY MAN (2) was close to breaking through last start when beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1509m at this track (Turf) after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. PIKE (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1308m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. PLAYFUL PAL (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1509m. M A Vasquez has registered two minor placings when on board. Expected to measure up. WIN RUNNER (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 1006m at this track (Turf). Finds a suitable race and can play a big role.

The start before that 2nd of 8 at this track on February 6 over 1006m, 0.3 len behind Cajun Gold carrying 56kg at $2.90. Big chance to score after a near miss last start.
