PATCHES O'HOULIHAN (3) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Scored over 1207m at this track at the start of last prep. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on three occasions from four runs. Looks a winning chance. RUNNIN' ROCKET (6) bounced back last start and landed the prize by one length as public elect over 1006m at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. I'M A GAMBLER (1) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1609m at Del Mar. Has found the right race and is worth including. FILO DI ARIANNA (2) lines up for the first time since September 14. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1006m at Gulfstream Park. Makes plenty of appeal.
