Gulfstream Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
COPPERLITE (7) returns from a break of 14 months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a sixth over 1710m at Churchill Downs. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. BAY OF BENGAL (9) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 13 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1408m. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the class to figure prominently. DIME PAPI (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. THE THOR (5) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after he got a long way back in the run. In the right race and should be about the mark. Something for the Multiples: WANNABEELOVED (2)
