PALE ALE (2) lines up for the first time since April 5. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. TIA CORAZON (4) was in the money on the dirt at Palermo two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on dirt, at this track over 1600m two months ago. Winning rider Leo Nicolas Acuna stays aboard. Should be in the finish. BLACK BABE (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 2000m at La Plata with today's rider Kevin Banegas engaged. Is in solid form this time in work, scoring two times and placing on four occasions from eight starts. Expected to be competitive. PHOENIX (5) scored on debut last start over 1600m at this track on May 22, finishing 0.8 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Has definite claims.
