Verdict

DIAMOND THIEF (9) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 5f at this track five-and-a-half months ago and has not raced since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. CULPABLE IM (10) didn't do a bad job to finish 2 lengths away in second last start over 6f at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Has the class to return to the winner's list. ES DESEADO (15) ran below expectations last time at San Isidro, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths starting at $8.90. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. COSITA DE LOBOS (1) last appeared on January 4 when a good fifth over 5f at San Isidro, beaten 2.75 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Cesar Mario Peralta. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs. Best figures stack up nicely.
