RUSE (13) did well last time to finish third over 7½f at Gulfstream Park (Turf). The extra journey should play into his hands. Ready to win. GHOSTLYPRINCE (4) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 12 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1m. Nicely placed to turn things around. Group 1 placegetter SO HIGH (1) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1m4f in the G3 Valedictory Stakes at Woodbine on December 3. Definite top-three chance. DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (8) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1m1f at this track (Dirt). Trevor Mccarthy who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Not to be discounted.
