BIG BUCKSALOT (7) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) with a win as favourite over 7f at this track (Dirt) four weeks ago, getting home by 2.75 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. GUILLAUME (1) finished fourth last time out over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Race sets up well for him. AWESOMEBROTHERBILL (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over 7f at this track (Dirt). Will give backers a sight. GOLDEN TONE (8) improved last start to finish third over 1m1/4f at this track. Another forward showing is anticipated.
