TOP COLT (7) returned last time with a solid third at San Isidro over 1400m. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. LE PURPLE (5) failed to figure again last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best figures should see him run well. HI SIMBA (2) finished third last time over 1600m at San Isidro when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of a big run. GREAT AND SPLENDID (4) is a 11-start maiden who has been in the money four times, Could only manage seventh last time out over 1200m at this track. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three four times. In the mix.
