Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
SONIC SURGE (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1408m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. WINE CANDY (3) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Should be hard to stop. SUPREME HONOR (5) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1408m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. R WINCHESTER (2) returns after a spell of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1207m at Tampa Bay Downs. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Victor Barboza Jr. Among the better hopes.

Comes here off a 59-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 8 at this track on May 15 over 1207m, 10 len behind Send Cash carrying 57kg at $14.50. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track on April 9 over 1408m, 13 len behind Top Maverick with 57kg at $4.50. May need more time.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at this track on June 14 over 1408m, 9 len behind Freaky Neeks with 54.5kg at $4.70. The race before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at this track May 16 over 1207m defeating Classy Prince with 55kg at $4.60. Capable of more – worth another chance.
