Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Optional Claiming
STRIKE (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. SOUPER HANDSOME (1) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) over 1207m, beaten 6 lengths. Progressive type who can play a role. CARIBBEAN COMET (2) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fourth over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic), beaten 1.75 lengths. Worth considering. ALESSMAN (4) showed good speed and fought on for third over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) on debut last start. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: THANKS CHARLIE (3)

Most recently 4th of 8 at Gulfstream Park on September 12 over 1408m, 11 len behind Arabian Crown carrying 54.5kg at $6.50. The run before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Gulfstream Park on August 22 over 1207m, 8 len behind Real Gone carrying 54.5kg at $7.50. Will need to improve many lengths to feature.
