TRADIZIONE RIM (4) looks close to a win after four minor placings in a row, most recently finishing a very close second over 1400m at this track. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. OPERA NOSTRA (1) last appeared when fourth over 1400m at La Plata ten months ago. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Pablo P Sahagian. Rates highly and should take some beating. QUINTA POTENCIA (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so she is a major player. DABZAR (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again.
