SKURLIN (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race when fresh from a spell last time out, finishing second and beaten only one length over 1000m at La Plata. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. BY PLANE (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start over 1000m at La Plata. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. MAXI TEXANO (5) scored by 6 lengths over 1000m at this track when resuming from a spell last start. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. FUSIONADO DAN (1) finished eighth over 1100m at La Plata at his most recent appearance on December 11. Has found the right race and is worth including.
