Gulfstream Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
CHEMICAL ROMANCE (7) is racing well including a last start third over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Top contender. RISK (4) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Carlos A David barn. Resumes after finishing tenth at Kentucky (Turf) at his last run eight months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Should feature in the finish. ETERNITY (6) got a long way back when 19 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth on debut at this track the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MR. WILLIAN (5) stepped out for his debut over 1509m at this track (Turf) back on February 22 and finished ninth, beaten 13 lengths. Should be thereabouts. Something for the Multiples: BACK NINE STAKES (1)

Was well-supported at debut, 4th of 7 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on April 10 over 1106m, 4 len behind Majestic Noir carrying 55.5kg at $3.60. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.
