Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Handicap
GOVERNOR SAM (1) comes here off a break of six months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1106m at Churchill Downs Turf. Capable of playing a major role. SOUPER QUEST (2) scored at Tampa Bay Downs Turf (Turf) last time out with 1.3 lengths to spare over today's journey. Goes well over this journey with six wins and five minor placings. Definite winning hope. MATTINGLY (3) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1006m at this track (Turf). Has never been out of the money over this course and distance from six attempts. Winning claims on best figures. COPPOLA (4) has switched yards since finishing sixth eight weeks ago over 1006m at this track. Solid top-three hope.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on April 4 over 1006m, 1.3 len behind Okiro carrying 55.5kg at $3.70. The start before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 8 at this track on March 6 over 1006m, 1.0 len behind Okiro carrying 55kg at $8. Genuine hope on latest effort.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently won by a 0.3 len at this track April 4 over 1006m defeating Mattingly with 55.5kg at $4.50. The race before that settled well back; won by 1.0 len at this track March 6 over 1006m defeating Extendo carrying 55kg at $29.60. Likely to find this a bit tough.
