Gulfstream Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Mdn Optional Claiming
MANE AFFAIR (7) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come so he will prove tough to beat. KUSA (2) is on debut for the Jose Francisco D'angelo stable. Two-year-old colt by Valiant Minister from Quentessa. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. DHARMAK (4) was safely held on debut last start, finishing 12 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement. One of the main contenders. CHARLOTTE'S SUN (8) debuted seven weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1106m at Colonial Downs (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end.

Was well in the market at debut, 4th of 8 at Colonial Downs on August 28 over 1207m, 12 len behind Freedom Hall with 54kg at $4.30. Gets a pass-mark after that debut and can go on with it.
