DEFENSOR ROJO (10) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 8 lengths, at this track over 1100m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MEDFORD (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1100m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SENORA BERNI (4) finished 4 lengths away in third last time out at this track. On a seven-day back-up. Good effort last start and has solid top-three prospects. MIPIPO (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in 11th over 1100m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
