Group 2 winner VIVIR CON ALEGRIA (5) resumed over 7f in stakes class at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last time out and finished third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will prove hard to beat. OUTLIER (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at Ellis Park (Dirt) with success over 1m at Ellis Park (Dirt) five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the key runners. TRIDENT HIT (8) resumed over 7f and turned in a fair run to finish fourth at Saratoga (Dirt). Is a five time winner from five starts second up and gets chance to show best. GENERAL MATHIS (4) finished second when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m2f at Thistledown. Deserves serious consideration.
