COUSTEAU (1) was well fancied last start over 1100m at this track when fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Nice alley and can make amends. FAFIFO (9) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1300m at Hipodromo Chile, finishing 17 lengths back in 11th. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FANTASMA BLIZ (10) failed to figure again last time over 1100m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into sixth. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Capable of testing this field. BOTAO A MACANUO (2) is a 14-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1100m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.
