CARDO DE ORO (3) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1200m at this track, an improvement on his 13th at this track the run before. Nicely placed to get the prize. THE LAST WOLF (7) has switched yards since finishing fourth three weeks ago over 1200m at this track. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. XEL-HA (9) finished 10 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1000m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be competitive. CANOVANAS (1) turned in a better run last start, beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1000m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
