ROGLIC (5) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 17 over 1100m when he got home by 0.1 lengths. Nicely placed to add to the outstanding run of form. LOBELIUS (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.75 lengths at today's course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. DESPROLIJO (11) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing one length away in third over 1100m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LA TIA ELENA (10) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1100m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Must be respected.
