Gulfstream Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
VEKOMA VELOCITY (7) finished second over 1609m at this track two back then missed the frame last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Hard to beat on his best form and can get off the mark here. I WALK THE NIGHT (6) is a five-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1106m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) after he gave away a big start. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. DOMINICAN PIRATE (5) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1408m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. UNCLE ZEB (2) finished 7 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 1408m at this track (Dirt) on May 1 after he was well back on straightening. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.

Returns from a 36-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 7 at this track on April 17 over 1609m, 46 len behind Other Level with 57kg at $7.50. Before that 5th of 8 at this track on March 7 over 1710m, 12 len behind Magic Red carrying 57kg at $13. Nice draw and worth including.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 36 day letup. Resuming second last of 12 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on March 28 over 1609m, 11 len behind War World Rocks carrying 53.5kg at $62.60. Last start 4th of 9 at Tampa Bay Downs Turf on April 17 over 1609m, 11 len behind Rags To Lace with 53.5kg at $26.40. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
