Verdict

GAROTINO (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing only a head away in second over 5f at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DON LEUCADIO (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten one length into third over 5f at this track. Facing a tougher assignment, but he is good enough to figure in the finish. DON CHAROLA (3) resumes from a spell of three months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 5f at San Isidro. Among the chances while fresh. VERDADERO TALENTO (1) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish third, beaten half a length, at this track over 5f. Has a high cruising speed. One of the better hopes.
