EIGHTPENNY (3) is a talented galloper with a very good strike rate who finished off last campaign with a win over 1200m at this track on November 4. Goes very well when fresh from a spell with two wins from three starts so she is expected to go very well. GREAT ROYAL (1) finished sixth at this track and distance at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Has switched to the Gerardo Alteño yard. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. PERICA RUNNER (6) did little and finished 10 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1000m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at San Isidro the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. SUPER FUNNY (7) returns from a spell. Finished fifth at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep seven months ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.
