GULFSTREAM

class hike. AWESOME THOUGHT winless in a dozen tries a year ago but in dangerous hands off the claim. Another who figures forwardly throughout. Salute With Honor came off extended vacation to turn in big try vs. state breds last out, facing tougher moving back with open company here.

EIGHTH RACE

JAPONSKI drops to softest level since graduation day. Toss last when not getting the best of trips. Sitting on a win with this kind. Must avoid early duel with speedy PRUE who is also in good form at the present time and dangerous if able to duplicate solid second behind class dropping Appa under similar conditions two back. GRAN CHIEF rallied off slow pace, overcame wide trip to win N2L condition but facing tougher here on the jump to N3L level. All I Karabout hasn’t had the best of trips when hung wide in each of last pair locally.

NINTH RACE

NATIONAL FLAG held own with some good company at 2. Defeated Belmont Futurity winner Enage on graduation day. Works just okay but might have enough of an inherent class edge to get job done off the bench. ELLAS MY LOVE makes main track bow off series of huge dirt works, might outrun his odds in this spot. BELLE TAPISSERIE

has posted back to back near 90 Beyer figs at 3, must not regress at short odds making third start in a four week span.

TENTH RACE

TRUE CONVICTION walked out of the gate, raced wide throughout, ran well beating 6 of 9 rivals in promising debut. Owns bullet work subsequent to the outing. Could be worth a look at the price in wide open maiden affair. REPAIR THE WORLD another who lost considerable ground, flattened out late after making middle move behind preferred choice at first asking. Expecting improvement today. CULLUM ROAD back with selling types, a logical choice at short odds again.

ELEVENTH RACE

THIRD MAN IN drops off the claim off decent effort at a mile after cruising to easy N2L win two weeks earlier. Gets shaky call at this level. NIGHT RYTHM stretches out, fairly consistent from a Beyer standpoint. Looks like good fit with this group. OUR SARGE back where nd he belongs after being over-matched in initial venture with N3L’s. Can’t ignore.
