MARANELO (8) was well held in the Suipacha won by Ansia Clara over 1000m at San Isidro at his last appearance eight months ago. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. PRINCIPE SONADO (6) was safely held last time when eighth over 1000m at Group 1 level at this track. Freshened up and tackling a longer journey this time. Can bounce back. JOY ANTUMALAL (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just 0.3 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. EARTH AND FIRE (7) lines up for the first time since January 15. Looking to emulate his win at San Isidro when returning from a spell last prep. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
