Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Optional Claiming
ESCARGOT (7) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when third over 1006m at this track (Turf) when she was prominent throughout. Finds a perfect assignment and can get the job done. SHEZAWILDONE (1) is on debut for the Saffie A Joseph (Jnr) stable. Three-year-old filly by Leinster from Wildcat Gaze. Should acquit herself well. Keep an eye out for any positive market movement. WINNING DEFENSE (8) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1006m at this track (Turf) when she was always up in the leading division. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. LADY SUMMER (9) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1006m at Gulfstream Park All Weather. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran last in a small field at Gulfstream Park All Weather on September 4 over 1006m, 8 len behind Champagne Brunch carrying 56kg at $32.50. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Tampa Bay Downs on March 15 over 1207m, 7 len behind Blazing Affair with 55.5kg at $41.50. Unlikely to threaten.
