EL ARANA CAT (11) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. REY MATRERO (10) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MESATEL (12) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Alberto Fabian Casalanguida. Finished seventh at Rosario over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Among the better hopes while fresh. HIPLEY (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
