METAPHOR (9) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing sixth over 7f at this track (Dirt) last start. Expected to bounce back. KANTHAROS JR (2) performed above expectations last time over 5½f at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic), getting the prize by 1. 3 lengths. Strong chance again. AWESOME FANTASY (10) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Should settle on the speed despite the draw. Cipriano Gil stays aboard. Certainly one to consider. MR Set Weights EETS (1) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 7f at this track (Dirt), beaten 5. 5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well.
