AFRICAN SPIRIT (6) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1200m at this track. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. LONE RANGER (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ALCABONTA (10) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Gabriel Gustavo Melej Romo. By Patternrecognition from Niña Que Es De Aca. Any push in betting should be respected. NIETO DEL SHEIK (13) was beaten 21 lengths into seventh in a 1200m contest at this track a week ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
