Verdict

MEITAR (3) has been in the money two times including the last start on December 15 when third over 1 ¼m at this track. Has recorded two top-three finishes from seven runs at this venue. A maiden win looks imminent. LOCOBIELSA (9) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at this track over 7f. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks like a strong chance to break through. EL PORTAL (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing a game second over 1m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. FORCING GAME (5) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at San Isidro, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be taken lightly.
