VIEJO VARIETE (3) is in top form with three wins on end, the latest by 0.1 lengths over 1600m at Listed level at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Drops back in grade. Leading contender. DON ROCKY (5) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1400m at Palermo Turf. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. SABIYANO (6) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fifth over 1600m at La Plata. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. VALLE BARUN (1) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1800m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
