MAURO EL GRANDE (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 1000m at La Plata last time, getting there by 6 lengths. Winning rider Marcos Albornoz sticks and he is a leading contender. TAMBERI (4) is back at the races for the first time since December 16. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Looks a winning chance. GREAT DADDY (6) turned in a fine effort to win by one length at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CAFE ESPRESSO (8) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a much improved run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
