STARS AND STRIPES (8) went forward when resuming last start over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 2. 25 lengths. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. DIVE BOMBER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into tenth. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GUN RUNNER CHARLIE (4) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by a nose as favourite over 1m at this track (Dirt). Ramon A Vazquez scored on him last time and retains the ride. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. IMPERIAL GUN (2) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Should be much improved.
