ESCONDIDAS (4) improved last start to finish second over 1200m at San Isidro. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to mix it with them. HONOUR ON THE BEACH (5) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing second over 1000m at La Plata. Fitter and should be in the finish again. FUKUOKA (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at La Plata. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Goes up a rung or two but she is up to the task. MOMOTA (7) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid claims.
