ANIMAL AFFAIR (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at La Plata, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Taking on a better line-up this time but she cannot be taken lightly. MA PERQUE (3) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. J BE BEAUTY (2) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at La Plata last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Facundo Marcelo Coria sticks and she is a solid top-three hope. QUEEN MANU (4) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
