GIANMARCO (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. EL BOTICARIO (8) last appeared when successful by half a length over 1100m at Valparaiso Sporting Club three-and-a-half months ago, the only time he went to the races last prep. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. HOTEL CALIFORNIA (2) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when sixth over 1000m at Club Hipico De Santiago. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. ROSA LA VASCA (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 2.75 lengths over 1000m at this track. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better.
