HOTTER THAN DEM (3) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1m1/4f at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) after he was well back on straightening. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. GOLD RULES (2) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1m1/2f at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), beaten 10 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. MAGNUS GOLD (7) finished third last start over 1m at this track (Turf) to make it two minor placings from five runs. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Expected to measure up. MUSKET MAGIC (10) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1m at this track (Turf), beaten one length after being in contention on the bend. Ideally placed to break the ice.
