Gulfstream Park invader #4 Cowboy At Heart (3-1) makes local debut for trainer Tim Grams and could forge mild upset here. #3 Bucked Tooth (15-1) steps up from claiming company but could round out the gimmicks at a generous price.

6-4-1-2

In this one-turn event for $5,000 claimers, #6 Irish Knockout (6-5) gets favorable outside draw and should prevail as the solid choice here. #4 Flirting Fuhr Avie (5-1) has maintained busy slate this year and could forge upset in 14th seasonal outing. #1 Meet Ms Bobby Rae (5-2) won two back for trainer Ollie Figgins III and could atone for fourth-place effort last out.#2 Singing Harmony (4-1) won last out and already boasts a pair of victories and would not be a surprise here.

RACE 5

1-6-3-2

In this solid, two-turn allowance for state-breds, #1 Ishihara (9-5) should benefit from favorable inside draw and gives trainer Jeff Runco first solid chance to prevail on the card. #6 Bright Dawn (2-1) has shown glimpses of promise but is still looking for first score since taking the Coin Collector Stakes here 16 months ago for trainer Ferris Allen. #3 Reata’s Castle (5-1) has been consistent sort throughout the year and could upset top two here. #2 Henry Standingbear (20-1) rates a chance to round out the gimmicks at a big price.

RACE 6

6-5-4-3

In this one-turn dash for $5,000 claimers, #6 Bayou Bougie (9-5) gets favorable outside draw for trainer John Carlisle and should prevail here as tepid choice. #5 Charm Weaver (5-1) also should benefit from being outsider and merits respect in this spot. #4 Mary’s Listed Next (3-1) has been consistent sort all year for owner-trainer and fomer jockey Keturah Obed-Letts and could forge mild upset here. #3 Dimitri’s Romance (9-2) has been fourth in each of last two and pattern should hold in this spot.

9-8-4-3

In this salty, one-turn starter allowance event, #9 To the Front (9-2) gets favorable outside draw and gets nod to upset for trainer Anthony Farrior despite previous outing. #8 Storm Boarder (1-1) looms the likely odds-on choice for Patterson despite break since Mountaineer Park score in June. #4 Unnamed Soldier (8-1) has been second and third in only two starts this year and certainly merits respect in this spot. #3 Company Clown (6-1) exits allowance company and seeks fifth win in 10 starts this year for trainer David Walters.
