SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS (9) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1m in stakes class at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Strong record with Manuel Franco aboard, including eight wins. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. SMOOTH BREEZE (1) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Should be near its peak for this. Going well and has strong prospects. GENERAL BANKER (3) finished a 10 length fifth on dirt at Aqueduct in a then followed up with a minor placing on dirt at Aqueduct over 1m three-and-a-half weeks ago. Nice class drop this time. Well placed and should be in the finish. SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN (6) lines up for the first time since October 25. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at Aqueduct Turf. Can make his presence felt.
