THANKS GUY (4) last appeared two weeks ago over 1200m at San Isidro when he finished third. This is his first run for the Guillermo Ariel Dimattia stable. Nicely placed here and expected to go well. KOWALSKY (7) finished seventh over 1200m at San Isidro at his most recent appearance on December 14. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. HOTELABEJA (5) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. IRLANDINO (8) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at San Isidro, beaten 10 lengths into sixth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
