Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming
GUS SWAYZE (3) Faded at the finish when 3rd last run at the track but competing in a higher grade. Has shown early pace in races to date. Worth strong consideration. HARD TALK (5) Shot clear to win by a margin of 5 1/2L last time at Tampa Bay Downs. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PARDO (6) Didn't attack the line when 5th last start here. Is capable of a resurgence but competing in a more challenging grade. Will be positive in the run early. Could pose a threat and looks promising. BEAU BLACK (1) Charged home to win last time here and has drawn to do little work. Expecting to settle positively. Keep in mind.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at this venue and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Should jump out and bowl along. Stands out as good value.

Although being overrun still grabbed 3rd last run at the track but matched against tougher rivals. Miguel Angel Vasquez consistently performs well for this stable. Should race on the speed. Should go very close.

Made a mess of them when winning by 5 1/2L last time at Tampa Bay Downs. Rates as one of the key chances.

At $7.50 was well beaten when 5th last start at this venue. Is capable of a resurgence but facing stiffer opposition. Displays good tactical speed. Looks a nice proposition.
