Gulfstream Park Race 5

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $117,978

STOMPIN GRAPES (3) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. MAKE MY DAY (1) made a promising debut over 1646m at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) last start, finishing third and beaten 14 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. THE PULSE (7) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Raced twice in his maiden campaign and wasn't far away on either occasion including the last run when third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sure to have come on over the break and is expected to measure up. STAKEHOLDER (2) returned from a spell six weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into fourth over 1710m at this track. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
