RACING240 MR 68 HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 28) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo expected primarily from Pibe De Oro and Brooksider. COMMANDING (4) has been bursting to win and finds a slightly easier assignment. Better than form suggests and could be over the odds. DAS GUTE (2) is another close to a win. Placed only try course and distance and should feature. EL CAPITAN (1) has been freshened since finishing fourth last time over a mile. Better than that and did win only try course and distance. Worth another try. THUNDER MASTER (5) has been runner-up four races on end and deserves a win. This suits and expected to be in the finish again.
