FLIGHT OF ICARUS (1) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1100m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. NINA SAMARITANA (8) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when sixth over 1300m at this track. Drops back in journey this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. VAN DER SAR (7) scored by a nose two back at Hipodromo Chile then missed the frame latest when fifth at Hipodromo Chile. Big weight drop will assist. Has claims if runs up to his mark. STAIN (5) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1000m at this track. Hard to leave out.
