Verdict

MAXIMO JOHAN (2) resumed last time out and finished third over 5f at San Isidro, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be in this for a long way. LOBO DE ESTEPA (12) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 5f at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Breaks from a wide alley but he should be in the finish again. DUQUE PIETRO (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a 13th over 5f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. PRECIOSO FIL (11) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at today's track and distance when first-up from a break last start. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose.
