EL APOSTOL (8) could only manage 13th two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. TONADA VIEJA (9) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1100m, beaten 0.1 lengths. Sound record at this distance with three wins and three minor placings from seven runs and is expected to be in the finish. JANSTAR (4) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1100m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ANDREI BOLKONSKY (1) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 1100m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
