COLIFATO NOVO (10) went for a break following a win in the CLASICO HORACIO BUSTILLO G2 then scored again fresh when a winner in the G3 Southern Halo at this track. Has never been out of the placings second up and expected to be in the finish. DRIVE JOY (5) marred his good record on turf two starts ago when fourth over 1600m at this track but backed it up with a win on the dirt over 1600m at Palermo most recently. Martin Javier Valle who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. EARTH GOD (11) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth last start over 1600m in Group 1 class at Palermo eight weeks ago. Has a solid record at this journey with four wins from 11 starts and should be involved in the finish. QUE TARDE GRIS (3) scored a 0.3 lengths win over 1600m at this track two back to enhance his strong turf track credentials. Turned in another good performance last start when third on dirt at Palermo over 1600m. Has three wins from six starts at this circuit. Cannot be underestimated.
