Gulfstream Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
JALAPENO (5) has two wins and three minor placings from five outings this campaign. Found one better last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m after being up on the pace all the way. Going well enough to take this out. PRACTICALLY DARK (6) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 1308m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Has a solid record at this circuit. Among the leading chances. ROAR OF THE BEAST (3) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 26 when beaten 5 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 1609m after being in contention on the bend. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. IRISH ADIEU (4) ran below expectations last time at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Well placed to turn things around.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation ran on from midfield and won by 6 len at this track on September 6 over 1207m defeating Gus Swayze with 56.5kg at $4.40. First up last campaign 2nd of 9 at Gulfstream Park Turf on December 5 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Oasis Prince carrying 54.5kg at $14.80. Cannot make a strong case.
