VIQUETE HALO (9) returned from a break of eight months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. STRATEGIC SOUTH (11) is a five-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent appearance over 1000m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. HOTELABEJA (7) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. PERRO BRAVO (1) was close to a maiden win before a 11 months break, finishing off with a placing over 1000m at Listed level at this track. Drawn to enjoy a nice run. Can kick off with a bold showing.
