Gulfstream Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
BARJOUJ (1) was well fancied last start over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) when third, beaten 14 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. ON THE ROX (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1673m at Delaware Park. Likely improver with strong prospects. DAUNTING (6) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 2414m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Among the chances while fresh. STAR OF THE GUN (7) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.3 lengths away in second over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form.

Last start 6th of 8 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on October 2 over 1673m, 7 len behind Happy Memories carrying 56kg at $28.70. The run before that ran second last of 7 at this track on September 13 over 1673m, 9 len behind Ciborio with 56kg at $19.40. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 43-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park on September 17 over 1673m, 17 len behind Skyrayleigh with 54.5kg at $12.40. The race before that 4th of 8 at Delaware Park Turf on August 14 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Drop Shot carrying 53.5kg at $82.70. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

First-starter by Gunnevera out of Top Notch Blue. Prefer to see him at the races before recommending.

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Not seen since he finished last of 9 at Saratoga Inner Turf July 24 over 2414m, 18 len behind Limited Edition with 55kg at $7.84. On debut ninth of 12 at Saratoga Inner Turf June 5 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Silent Impact with 54.5kg at $13.54. Can go on with the job this prep.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 40-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on September 20 over 1673m, 1.3 len behind Zirzop carrying 52kg at $3.60. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on August 23 over 1710m, 3 len behind Apache One Six with 52kg at $8.60. Close to a win. One of the better chances.
