EL BOTICARIO (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1100m at this track. Looks well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning form. LOBELIUS (7) returns from a layoff of nine months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1300m at this track. Has found a suitable race. OSCURO Y SALVAJE (8) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1100m at this track last start. Has a high cruising speed. Should be involved in the finish. ENCINITAS (9) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out over 1100m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Must be respected.
