Gulfstream Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming

CAPTCHA (6) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Will take catching. ROCKINGHAM JOE (4) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after closing off last preparation with five consecutive minor placings. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. FINEST GAMBLE (7) reunites with Pedro Pena after scoring with ease over 1710m at this track (Synthetic) last time. Shapes as one to consider. ONE MORE DUKE (1) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1710m at Gulfstream Park Turf, beaten 5 lengths. In contention this time.

Most recently ran second last in a small field at this track on July 25 over 1673m, 16 len behind Tapstick carrying 55.5kg at $13.60. Before that won by 10 len at this track on July 12 over 1673m defeating Rockin Empire carrying 54.5kg at $2.30. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Second-up. First-up after seven months 3rd in a small field at this track on July 25 over 1673m, 4 len behind Tapstick with 56kg at $3.10. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Saratoga Turf on August 27 over 1710m, 7 len behind Prove carrying 53.5kg at $14. Fitter for recent racing and is a winning hope.
