NOEL (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1100m. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. VELETA DE PROA (3) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths over 1100m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot score again. TE QUIERO TODAVIA (1) started at $5.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing eighth and beaten 5 lengths at this track over 1100m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ALTO FOREVER (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into eighth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
