PINAZO (1) finished seventh over 1600m in Group 2 grade at La Plata at his most recent appearance on November 19. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Edgardo Oscar Martucci. One of the genuine hopes in the race. TRUE FOR SALE (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. PROUDE PARIS (6) finished 2.75 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1500m at La Plata three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be prominent from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. HIERATIC (5) was beaten 7 lengths into fifth over 1600m at San Isidro at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
