Gulfstream Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Optional Claiming
KISSED BY A ROSE (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1509m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. STARSHIP CONTENDER (7) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) over 1006m, beaten 4 lengths. Has upside and deserves another chance. GRANT ME PEACE (9) is yet to break through in four runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 5.5 lengths away in fourth over 1509m at this track (Turf). Generally takes a sit but draw makes it tricky. Will be hard to hold off again. Can feature with even luck. CATHEDRAL SUN (4) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Has upside and worth including.
