ESCAPE TO THE MOON (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Has the talent to put the recent run of form behind him. SHANIDAR (3) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at this track nine months ago and has not raced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. NO ME ACUERDO (4) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Ramon Ariel Aguirre stays aboard. Fitter and poses a big threat. NINO SAMURAI (7) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1500m at La Plata at his last appearance on August 12. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Can feature in the finish.
