PALCO DOCE (3) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1100m at this track, beaten only a nose. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EL RODO (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.3 lengths over 1100m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NINE BRILLIANT (1) is a 38-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent outing over 1100m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. CONDE AUSTRAL (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1100m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
