METAL FORGE (1) did a great job to score by a head over today's course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. MALDITO SEA (7) is a progressive four-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing third over 1000m at this track on July 27. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Form here at this journey is very good with two wins from four runs. Well placed and should be in the finish. DARK KID (3) performed above expectations last time over 1000m at San Isidro, getting the prize by 0.8 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Will give backers a great sight. CORONA BLUES (9) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Juan Pablo Bruschini. Can make his presence felt.
