HIT A CHECK (7) finished fourth over 1000m at Palermo at his most recent appearance on December 19 2022. Has switched to the Luis Hector Dominguez yard. Comes here with definite claims. MEGUSTANLOSVIERNES (6) is yet to break through in 12 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 3 lengths away in fifth over 1000m at this track last time. Backmarker who keeps coming. Great chance to break through. DESERTICO (3) is back from a break of three months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 1800m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. THOR NA SOL (5) finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
