RIVER THAMES (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) before finishing 0.3 lengths away in second last time over 1m1/2f in the G2 Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. OWEN ALMIGHTY (4) built on a nice second two starts back in stakes class at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) with success over 1m1/2f in the G3 Tampa Bay Derby at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) a month ago, getting home by 3.5 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to score again. CHANCER MCPATRICK (6) resumed last time out and finished second over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs, beaten 3.5 lengths. Is building an excellent record with three wins from five starts. Sure to be competitive. EAST AVENUE (5) was well in the market when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m1f in the G2 Risen Star Stakes at Fairgrounds (Dirt) but was safely held in tenth, beaten 22 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive.
