MY FAVORITE BIRD (11) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m1/2f at Listed level at this track (Turf) after being in the firing line all the way. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. EMPIRE OF GLORY (8) built on a nice second two starts back at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf) with success over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1. 3 lengths. Samuel Marin scored on him last time and retains the ride. Finds a suitable race and can make it back-to-back successes. VINO SOLO (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JES SEE ME (7) did a great job to score by 9 lengths over this course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Nicely placed to score once again.
