Gulfstream Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
FINDING CANDY (5) did little and finished 7 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. VEKOMA VELOCITY (6) was in the firing line on the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SENOR RESPLANDOR (8) was in the firing line on the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1609m at Tampa Bay Downs Turf after missing the placings at the previous appearance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. BEAU BLACK (2) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish tenth at the latest run over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Has ability and must be included in calculations.
