Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
SPIRIT OF THE LAW (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1609m after being in contention on the bend. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. MALCOLM X (7) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing third over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Yet to win at this distance but has recorded two minor placings so another big run is likely. MEGACLES (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth in a 1673m contest at Gulfstream Park All Weather six-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DAVID PEPPERMAN (10) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.

Third race start today. At long odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on April 18 over 1106m, 14 len behind Ambassador Blue carrying 57kg at $25.90. Second-up won by 2.75 len at Gulfstream Park May 23 over 1609m defeating Vekoma Velocity carrying 57kg at $4.50. Hard to find many positives.
