Gulfstream Park Race 11 - Race 11 - Claiming
BRIGADE COMMANDER (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just three times from 31 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1609m at Gulfstream Park Turf. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. BLUFF (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 7 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ALWAYS TRUE (6) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Has filled a minor placing at each of his three first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1710m at this track. Bold showing expected. DISTINCT (7) dug deep to score two back then was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1609m at Meadowlands (Turf) last time seven weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Can feature in the finish.
