Gulfstream Park

Panamanian ace LuisSaez is still very much the man in form, and the man to beat on the GulfstreamPark course. He continues to rack up winners and has maintained a near-20%strike rate so far this season.

On his extensive book of rides for some top trainers it could be worth looking at Hartling for Michael Pino at 18:34, as well as Eve of War for Todd Pletcher at 21:46.

Both fillies areseeking redemption after coming unstuck last time out, despite being goodwinners beforehand. Hartling has a rare blip being beaten on a turf track afterrunning four smooth wins, including three over dirt.

Her expert handlerlooks to have picked a good opportunity to get the three-year-old daughter ofMucho Mucho Man back on track in what looks an open race.

Eve of War contestsa much stronger race in the 21:46, with the field containing two ex-JessicaHarrington imports. She trounced her opposition on her very impressive firststart, boulting up by little over 7l.

A few weeks later,things went wrong when she stumbled at the start and never got back intocontention, but legendary trainer Pletcher is looking to get her back on trackwith the switch back to turf.

It wouldn’t come asa surprise to see him get it right, but the level of competition posed from thelikes of Secret Stash, who finished third in the Florida Oaks, makes this atricky contest.

Race to Watch – Gulfstream Park – 22:17

A horse which couldbe familiar to a few in the first here is Shrewdness. The daughter ofLawman, trained by William Haggas and owned by the Queen in the UK, she makesher second start across the pond for US trainer Patrick Biancone.

Some might considerher first run, where she was narrowly beaten by just shy of a length, to be anexcellent first showing considering she ran off the back of a six-month spellaway from the track.

That race was onturf however, and this run on a dirt track is an entirely different propositionfor her. She isn’t bred for the dirt track, and even though Biancone has a goodtrack record switching horses from one surface to another, it poses a seriousquestion.

Shrewdness’ only windid come at the Wolverhampton track, so there is some hope that she might taketo the mud better than expected.

She isn’t the onlyformer Haggas in-mate in the field, with Whispering Beauty in the pack too.She’s arguably achieved more in her career so far, and in the UK, she managedtwo wins at novice level.

Her first two runs inFlorida have shown some promise, as she’s run well on both occasions, but thisis her first attempt on the dirt surface so there are questions on how wellshe’ll handle it.

Brendan Walsh hasn’thad much success so far with his runners this season, so a win for his fillyhere would be very welcome. Can either of the former UK-trained horses shine onthe dirt track?
