HIALEAH NATIVE (10) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.3 lengths away in second over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SIMPLY JACK (11) is a six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Anthony Farrior stable. Hasn't raced since finishing sixth at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) four-and-a-half months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Expected to be in the finish. PRINS FIRE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1m at Laurel, beaten 19 lengths into seventh. Has the talent to figure prominently. HERE COMES RUSTY (7) saluted two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when fourth over 6½f at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths. Expect a better run this time.
