SPECIAL HORSE (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 4 lengths over today's trip at this track. Has a sound record at this journey with a win and one minor placing. Top chance. EXCESO DE ALEGRIA (1) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1600m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he is a leading contender. NINO SAMURAI (3) is resuming from a break of four months for a new stable after finishing sixth over 1600m at this track at his latest outing. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and one minor placings from three runs. Capable of taking this out. NO ME ACUERDO (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 9 lengths away in seventh over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
