EXPATRIATE (4) is back from a lay-off of nine months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1m1/2f at Saratoga. Expecting a bold showing. GOATS ON A TREE (2) was well supported when resuming last time out over 1m at Gulfstream Park (Turf) and proved too strong, scoring by 0.1 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the leading chances. ROMANTICA (7) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at Gulfstream Park, beaten 3 lengths. Steps up a level but she is fitter and good enough to feature. NEW ROME (9) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.75 lengths win over 1m at Gulfstream Park (Turf). Lay-off with two wins and zero minor placings from three appearances. Form at this distance is strong with three wins from four starts and is among the main hopes.
