HAMASA (7) bounced back last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1600m at San Isidro. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. ALA BURKA (1) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at La Plata two starts back then landed the prize by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Francisco Jesus Lavigna scored on her last time and retains the mount. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PODOROSKA (8) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at La Plata, beaten 3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the key runners. ELISA BEAUTY (4) scored a 2 length win on dirt at this track two starts ago. Followed up with a minor placing on turf at San Isidro over 1800m seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Hasn't broken through over this course and distance but has managed three minor placings. Among the better hopes.
