MARIANO CRAIG (6) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten 2 lengths into third over 1600m at this track. Among the leading chances. VIA NORTE (4) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track over 1600m, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver who is worth another chance. LADYBUG (5) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a second over 1600m at this track. Proving a good combination with Lucas Fernando Martinez with three straight placings. Sure to be competitive. HI NUD (3) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on April 5, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths over 1600m at this track. Under the care of new trainer Juan Franco Saldivia this prep. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
