Gulfstream Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Mdn Claiming

MALBEC (3) finished 19 lengths adrift in fifth when back from a break last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Was in the placings at his only other second-up run. Blinkers come off second up. Fitter so a bold showing is likely. SMELL OF MONEY (1) was never in contention when 26 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1308m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Gulfstream Park All Weather the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. HENRY'S BUDDY (5) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Well placed and should be in the finish again. CHING CHING (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on September 18 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind Show Boat carrying 54.5kg at $2. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Colonial Downs on August 20 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Bad Boy Butch with 53.5kg at $3.30. Everything points towards a big run.
