Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

CRUZIN MAN (3) was a determined winner last time at this track (Turf), scoring by 0.3 lengths over this distance. Gets some weight relief this time so another bold showing is expected. GIANT TEDDY (4) saluted at Gulfstream Park All Weather two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing third over 1006m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. The engagement of Diego A Herrera is noteworthy. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SOSUA SUMMER (7) kept coming but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1006m at this track (Turf). Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. XY SPEED (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on August 9 when beaten 5 lengths into sixth at this track (Turf) over 1006m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role.
