Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
GUNS LOADED (5) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 9 lengths away in seventh over 1207m in stakes class at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on November 24 which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong record when resuming, including two wins. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. FLYING LIAM (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when sixth and beaten 31 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and can bounce back. RAGING FURY (2) was far from disgraced when third last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at Tampa Bay Downs the start prior. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. PRACTICALLY DARK (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
