ALCIDES (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 0.3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1900m at this track. Anyelo Rivera Lozano scored on him last time and retains the ride. Nicely placed to take this out. BLUE LABEL (2) turned in a modest performance when fourth last start over 1900m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at Club Hipico De Santiago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. NGANNU (12) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten 0.3 lengths into second over 1900m at this track. Expected to cross from wide out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. THE TROOPER (13) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1600m contest at this track last time out by 2.75 lengths. Has solid form at this circuit with two wins and three minor placings from nine starts. A bold showing is expected.
