ROCKET'S MAGIC (6) is arguably the top chaser racing outside of the SEQ and he continues to churn out sensational times over both distances. Ran a near record in the heat and only bad luck will stop him from winning again. ASA EXTREME (1) is racing in a purple patch of form and has again drawn ideally. PROSPECT (3) can show speed and place.
