ROCKET DRAGON (7) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by 2.5 lengths over 5½f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Looks well placed so expect another big run. OUTOFTHEDARK (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track (Turf) over 1m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. INDIO MARA (6) proved too strong last start and scored by 0.1 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this track. Should park just off the speed. Will give backers a great sight. SIXTEEN CIGARETTES (5) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 4 lengths to spare over 6f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from three starts. One of the fringe hopes.
