Verdict

NAIMABAD (4) got the prize two runs ago at San Isidro. Safely held last time out when fifth over 5f at San Isidro, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. A LA VISTA (3) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a bold runner-up last time over 6f on the turf course here. Winning rider Francisco Jesus Lavigna sticks. Leading contender. BICHITA DE LUZ (5) loves the trip, and she has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 6f at this track. Looks well placed, so expect another big run. ATAKA (1) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when second, beaten half a length, at San Isidro over 7f. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be thereabouts.
