TREMENDO MACHO (6) was below his usual level on the dirt track two back when fourth over 2200m at this track. Missed the placings again last time on turf over 1900m at Valparaiso Sporting Club. Generally goes well here. Should be in the finish. TOMMY SHELBY (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2.75 lengths over 1900m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with four wins and three minor placings from 11 runs. Leading player again. KERION (5) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start second over 1900m at this track. Rates highly and is worth another chance. GOGOL (1) was a placegetter on dirt over 1900m at Club Hipico De Santiago two back but missed the frame on turf over 2000m at Club Hipico De Santiago last time. Sound record at this distance with three wins and six minor placings from 13 runs and is among the main hopes.
