Gulfstream Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming

PARIS SURPRISE (7) showed good early dash when resuming last start and held on well to finish 1.75 lengths back in second over 1609m at this track (Turf). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. JUNCTION ROAD (2) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past five starts. Last time out he finished third over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Well placed to keep the ball rolling. TEAM OF RIVALS (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.75 lengths over 1609m at this track (Turf). Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is one of the main chances. YANKEE DRUMMER (5) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1710m at this track (Turf). Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with three placings to his name. One of the fringe hopes.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently got back early ran second last in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on July 11 over 1673m, 6 len behind Private Thoughts with 55.5kg at $12.30. The start before that came from midfield and won by 5 len at Gulfstream Park All Weather on May 17 over 1673m defeating Peppermint Man carrying 57kg at $1.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.
