Gulfstream Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
NASTI Z (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt) with today's rider Rasheed Hughes engaged. Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from three starts. Among the leading chances. JESTINA (1) scored by 2 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts three wins and three placings. Expect a bold showing. DAKOTA'S LIL AUROR (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1207m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is one of the main contenders. AUTHENTIC WAVE (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1408m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 37-day let-up. At the latest run favourite; won by 2 len at this track May 15 over 1609m defeating Samaritan's Joy with 55.5kg at $1.40. Before that favourite; won by 3 len at this track April 16 over 1308m defeating Starship Juliette carrying 55.5kg at $2.30. Should be right in the finish.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign fourth of 8 at Tampa Bay Downs April 18 over 1308m, 3.5 len behind Lola's Romance carrying 54.5kg at $3.30. On debut fourth in a small field at this track July 27 over 1106m, 9 len behind Rileytole with 53.5kg at $15.10. Looks up against it.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on May 15 over 1609m, 9 len behind Jestina with 54.5kg at $4.70. The race before that 2nd of 7 at this track on April 16 over 1308m, 3 len behind Jestina with 54.5kg at $11.60. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
