PORTUARIO (6) finished second, beaten a nose, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. BE A MAN (3) got the prize two runs ago at Cristal. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1380m at Taruma, beaten 11 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is right in contention. UNDER SNOW (8) was out of the money first-up but has progressed nicely since, last start finishing third at this track over 1600m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. UBIRATAN (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
