ARKHIPOV (8) missed the placings when resuming recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park Turf (Turf). Blinkers on and strips fitter. Sure to go well. AMERICAN DIRECTION (5) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 6f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. PACIFIC STANDARD (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt) over 6f after being in contention all the way. Should race just off the speed despite the wide draw. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. POWER OF WILL (4) returned from a lay-off seven-and-a-half weeks ago when he was in contention on the bend before being beaten 2. 75 lengths into fourth over 1m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
