EL TATUADO (3) is racing in great heart and has two wins on end, most recently getting the prize by 1.3 lengths over 1300m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Best figures should see him run well. ASSADI (11) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when 11th in a 1100m contest at this track four weeks ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. BAD BUNNY (8) did a great job to score by 2.25 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. MERCENARIA (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
