DONA DO SO (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently finishing runner-up over 1200m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time, but she deserves plenty of thought. NINA VENUS (6) turned things around last start and scored by 0.3 lengths over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed, so expect another big run. PRINCESA ILUMINADA (2) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at La Plata at the previous outing. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form, she is one of the chief contenders. SMASHY (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed, and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose.
