STRATEGIC MONCARO (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1200m at this track, scoring by half a length. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish. TOTAL SEGURITY (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 14 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at San Isidro, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. BENDITO ALI (5) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1600m at San Isidro. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. PARIS STRIPES (7) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
