Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Special Weight
THE KID IS BACK (4) has started twice, missing the frame on debut then doing a better job to finish third last time, beaten 3.5 lengths over 1509m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Further improvement to come and this looks his chance. WIN RUNNER (1) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1006m at this track (Synthetic) following a minor placing at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) over 1006m the run prior. Likely to be about the money. LUVUCHARLIE (3) is a three-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Runhappy from First Mistress. Comes from a stable which has an impressive strike rate with the first-starters. Promising type who can make a positive start to his career. CANDIED UP (7) has not raced since his debut on March 22 over 1509m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) when he finished seventh, beaten 15 lengths. Blinkers added; should be competitive.
