NORTH SHIP (4) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work and looks close to a maiden win, the latest effort a second over 6f at this track (Dirt). Fitter and should be in the finish. BROKEN SOUND (5) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1m1/4f at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Ready to find winning form. R WINCHESTER (3) is returning from a lay-off of nine months. Finished seventh at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Victor Barboza Jr. Sound top-three prospects. GATORS REIGN (1) returned from a lay-off three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 11 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
