Gulfstream Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
FINEST GAMBLE (7) was quickly into stride and went on to score by half a length last time out over 1673m at this track (Synthetic). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DAVID PEPPERMAN (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fifth in a 1673m contest at this track eight days ago. The engagement of Jose E Morelos is a positive move. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. TAPSTICK (3) settled well back at this course and distance last time but did find the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Can feature in the finish. COMPLEXED (6) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Synthetic), finishing 8 lengths from the winner in seventh. Worth noting his strong second-up record. Should run well.
