POOR SMELL (8) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1000m at this track, clocking in 3 lengths from the winner. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from 15 starts. A bold showing is expected. MICKY (10) ran a strong second over 1000m at this track two runs back then was below his best last time over 1100m when tenth, beaten 14 lengths. Better suited at this shorter trip so can bounce back. SHIVERS (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $8.40. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RUBIA CLARA (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 7 lengths away in 11th over 1000m at Hipodromo Chile. Better than recent efforts suggest.
