POENNI (7) was beaten half a length into second at this track two starts ago then finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Should be prominent throughout. Hard to beat. LA SALCHI (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. STUPENDA (11) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1000m at this track. Launched last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1000m. One of the leading chances. PARA TI MI AMOR (1) was a fair eighth in a 1000m contest at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the top 4 this time.
