LADYBUG (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at San Isidro. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of running a bold race. LA SAMARA (2) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1600m on the dirt course here. Nicely placed and expected to go well. CARREE (3) started at $5.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth over 1400m. Meets a similar field, and she is worth another chance. SANTA IRMA (7) fought on well for second last start over 2000m at La Plata, making it two minor placings in a row. Likely to play a major role. NOCHE DE GIN'S (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1600m at this track. Likely improver with strong top 4 prospects.
