Verdict

HAPPY FITZ (1) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Has a good record at this trip with a win and four placings. Rates highly and should go well. MAXIMO KEY (4) is fresh from a spell of nine weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at La Plata over 6f. In a different yard now. Sure to be primed for this, and a bold showing is anticipated. FULL BAY (3) did little and finished seventh over 7f at San Isidro last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at San Isidro the run before. Francisco L Goncalves gets the best out of this five-year-old entire, so stick with him. SAVED AGAIN (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1 ¼m. Include in all combinations.
