VENTILUZ (10) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1200m at La Plata. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. ROMULO FIRST (5) failed to figure again last time over 800m at Azul, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. WIND OF PEACE (12) last appeared three weeks ago over 1200m at this track when he finished third. This is his first run for the Leandro Zermathen stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. NEGRAS MANOS (6) is a seven-start maiden who filled a minor placing at San Isidro at the last run before spelling. Can pick up where she left off. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
