Verdict

PEQUENO BELT (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third over 7f at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EL SINSONTE (5) resumed four weeks ago over 7f at this track and was only beaten one length into fourth. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. ZE CLAUDIO (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when seventh in a 7 ½f contest at this track two months ago. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. AQUA BOY (9) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found a couple better over 6f at this track. Has upside and must be respected.
