LA BANDA (2) resumes from a spell of five months and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1700m in Group 3 class at La Plata. Expect she has come on over the break. Rates on top and is a great chance to open the campaign with a win. MAREJADA (1) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths over 1600m at this track. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. DELANUCA (9) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time over 2000m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. SOLTA LA BARRA (6) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Juan Franco Saldivia. By Suggestive Boy from Sandrine. Top-three chance.
