Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Benny The Bull H. Stakes

BACK EM UP (6) changes rider since being well held last time in fifth over 1408m at Listed level at Colonial Downs (Dirt) on August 1. Best form is good enough so worth another chance. CLASSIC OF COURSE (3) scored at this track (Dirt) last time out with 0.3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1308m. Has four wins here. Winning hope again. PURE CLASS (7) continues to race well with a win two back at this track (Dirt) before finishing 1.5 lengths away in third last time over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Shapes as one to consider. LATCH THE HATCH (5) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins and two placings from six starts this campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate.
