MAQUINA DE SANGRE (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at Palermo, scoring by one length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she looks certain to measure up again. PETITE BAMB (5) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four runs this preparation, finishing a nose away in second most recently over 1600m at this track. Useful type who gets her chance. LA PORTUARIA (2) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when third over 1600m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. THE GREAT CONNIE (8) opened this prep with a win then was less impressive last time out when ninth over 1600m at Palermo. Worth plenty of thought.
