Gulfstream Park April 17, 2022

Race 7: Maiden Optional Claiming

#2 Shawnee Princess will move back to the dirt for this race after a decent turf performance last time out. The dirt still appears to be the best surface for her, though. #7 Jazla has been close at this level in a couple of prior starts; however, she did struggle last time out at this level. Look for her to rebound in this spot today.

Race 8: Claiming

#4 Heza Kitten runs second off of the claim for a solid trainer, so you can expect the horse to improve a bit today. His best race is good enough to win in this spot today. #1 Benelux won a similar race to this one last time out and should be competitive again today. He also runs for a new trainer today that is solid with these types of runners.

Race 9: Allowance

#2 Richy has won two of three starts over the synthetic surface, all of which came in similar races to this one. His normal effort should be good enough to get the job done at this level. #3 Grainger County won over the synthetic surface three races back, while finishing second against turf allowance horses last time out. This is a good spot for him today.

Race 10: Maiden Claiming

#2 Kodiak Mamba takes a drop down in class for this race after running third at a higher level last time out. This seems to be a logical spot for him today. #11 Food Bank Helper will take a big class drop for this one, which looks to be needed after a poor effort last time out against tougher runners.
