WATAKIN (10) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 20 lengths into 12th over 1100m at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. RUBIO ALOCADO (2) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on his last start third at this track over 1100m when beaten 4 lengths. Should be prominent from the low draw. Will prove tough to beat. PICHO AMADO (8) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1100m at this track, finishing 6 lengths back in eighth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AFIRMATE GATO (12) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 12 lengths over 1100m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
