ROCKET MAN maintained his perfect record when he demolished his rivals in the S$200,000 Singapore Three-Year-Old Sprint over 1200m at Kranji here today.

One of the firsts to break, ROCKET MAN (Viscount - Macrosa by Mr McGinty) took command on settling down and kicked away from his rivals at the top of the straight to win easing up by four and a half lengths.

It was a smashing display from a horse who has have only four career starts and count the Magic Millions Orchid Trophy last November among his successes so far.

ROCKET MAN will now be aimed for the Lion City Cup in April with the KrisFlyer International Sprint in May a possible target as well.
