Gulfstream Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
I'M SAM (4) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) when he was always up in the leading division. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CAMIGOL (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1673m at this track (Synthetic) after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ADVANCED (1) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 2 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he can play a big role. ENCHANTING TALE (3) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
