MAXI TEXANO (2) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only half a length. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. OTRO AMIGUITO (1) is resuming from a spell of three-and-a-half months and having his first run for the Gustavo Raul Veliz yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 1000m. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. ANELKA (7) finished a nose from the winner in second on debut over 1200m at this track on September 7 2024 and has not appeared since. Sure to have improved so he should be in the finish. THELONIUS (8) is appearing for the first time. By Idalino and is out of the Gerardo Alteño stable. Watch the market closely.
