Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
SHINIGAMI (1) was narrowly beaten last start when second in a small field over 1710m at this track (Synthetic). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. I'M SAM (7) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being in contention on the turn over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 0.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. JACK KEROUAC (6) scored last start at this track (Synthetic) to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. Certainly one to consider again. RAFAROO (3) has switched yards since scoring by 1.3 lengths at Gulfstream Park Turf over 1710m on April 18. Has found the right race and is worth including.
