PALACIO (1) was prominent at the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 4½f at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has the class to produce another positive result. UNALTERED (3) remains a maiden after 12 starts. Finished fifth last start over 4½f at this track (Dirt), beaten 12 lengths. Juan Mauricio Nunez stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Likely to feature. VIESTE (6) is a 16-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 7f at this track (Dirt) after she was well back on straightening. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MSSNAP (2) was beaten 5 lengths into fifth over 4½f at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
