LOCO ABARRIO (6) built on a nice second two starts back at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) with a win over 1m in Listed grade at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) eight weeks ago, getting home by half a length. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. BIG MARTINI (1) ran well below his best last time over 1m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt), beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at 4/1. Goes well at this trip, recording four minor placings and looks a top chance. PURE CLASS (5) was quickly into stride over 6½f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) when resuming last time and defied all challengers to score by half a length. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race. HOLIDAY PAY (4) was comfortably accounted for when fourth last time out over 7f at Gulfstream Park, beaten 3 lengths, after a win at Gulfstream Park at the previous outing. In the mix.
