SANTOS LUGARES (2) finished 4.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1000m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will drift back but wind up late. Best form puts him right in this. PEDRO THE GREAT (3) finished third, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with bright prospects. SANDMAN (1) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Pablo Chioccarelli. By Grand Reward from Stormy Puntera. Good draw a big help. Watch for a betting push. ES MERCAT (8) is a well-related three-year-old colt on debut. By Il Mercato from Entranced who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who is sure to be well-found in betting.
