MIPIPO (13) was safely held last time when beaten 6 lengths into 11th at today's course and distance after being well backed. Has a wide gate to contend with again. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. GIPSY VANNER (14) was comfortably accounted for when 12th last time out over 1100m at this track, beaten 17 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HOVLAND (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.75 lengths over 1100m at this track. Winning rider Piero Ignacio Reyes Podesta stays aboard and he cannot be discounted. LATEN GOOD (4) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1100m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Major contender.
