BLIND EYE (7) is a 15-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being in the firing line on the bend at his latest appearance over 1m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. FIRE BARON (2) made progress last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in second when he did his best work late at the end of 6f at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. TIMO (10) again failed to feature last start, finishing ninth and beaten 11 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Well placed in this line-up and is among the better chances. ARROGANT RIDER (3) is fresh from a lay-off of seven months and did hit the frame when last resuming at Laurel (Turf) over 1m1/2f. In a different yard now.
