EL NINO GUSTAVO (3) finished third last time out over 1200m at this track, making it seven career minor placings. Has a good record at this distance with five top-three results from nine starts. Has the speed to be prominent. Leading contender. RAPIDO EN LLAMAS (10) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 6 lengths into third over 1000m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves plenty of thought. JOHN COOPER (2) is yet to break through in 17 runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1200m at this track on March 13. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. STAR MAGIC (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into fifth. Capable of featuring prominently.
