Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
JUSTIFIED GIFT (3) has been in the betting recently but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf), beaten 0.2 lengths. One of the leading contenders in this suitable contest. TREASURED TIMES (5) returns after six months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1609m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf). Bold showing expected. BON VIVANT (6) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 20 lengths over 1408m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAP THIS WAY (1) was safely held on debut last start, finishing 16 lengths behind the winner in eighth over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Plenty of scope for improvement. One of the hopes.
