GUAGUARERO (7) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. HYDROPLANE (5) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 5½f at this track (Dirt) after he gave away a big start. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. THIRSTY FRIEND (3) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. SARK (2) is a nine-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at this track (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
