LAST AMERICAN (4) finished eighth two runs back at Palermo then improved last time out to score by 0.1 lengths over 1300m at this track. No reason he cannot salute again. EL INTERVENTOR (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 6 lengths at today's track and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Pablo Damian Carrizo gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. No reason he cannot salute again. MI NICORA (6) finished tenth, beaten 8 lengths, when first up from a spell last time out over 1300m at this track. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Capable of running a big race. ERNNY (3) ran well below his best last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth at $4.25. Better than the last run and is a top-three hope.
