Gulfstream Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
MALCOLM X (1) started at $4.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Turf) over 1609m. Nicely placed to bounce back. HANDS OF TIME (2) did a great job to score by a nose over today's course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. APACHE ONE SIX (8) proved too strong last start and scored by 3 lengths over 1710m at this track (Turf). Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. VENEZUELAN HOPE (10) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 0.8 lengths over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Can figure in the finish.

Second run back. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after two months ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track on August 8 over 1609m defeating Rashid carrying 55.5kg at $3.90. Previously second-up ran second last of 7 at this track on April 23 over 1710m, 13 len behind Landman Friday carrying 57kg at $3.90. Another win looks on the cards. Improver with winning prospects.

Second-up. First-up after three months eased back early on 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on September 6 over 1207m, 7 len behind Peppermint Man with 56.5kg at $1.40. Previously second-up favourite; won by a 0.3 len at Gulfstream Park on February 26 over 1207m defeating Skyrush with 52kg at $6.70. Fitter but others appeal more.
