Las Piedras Race 5 - Preferencial "Jose Pascual Maggiolo Tuana"
PAGLIUCA (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at Maronas, beaten 2.5 lengths. The engagement of Vagner Leal is a positive move. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. DON FANTASMA (4) has switched yards since finishing fourth six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1500m at Maronas. One of the genuine hopes in the race. CABEZA BRANCA (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 2000m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with seven wins and four minor placings from 16 starts. Solid top-three chance. RUNNING GUN (6) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 12 lengths into seventh over 1800m at Maronas. Fitter so can figure in the finish. Something for the Multiples: QUILERO (2)

Returns from a 41-day let-up. Last start 2nd of 8 at this track on February 7 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Queluz Pipo carrying 59kg at $4.30. The race before that won by 1.5 len at Florida January 29 over 1300m defeating Aslan carrying 57kg at $3.90. Would be better placed in something easier.

Most recently won by a nose at this track March 7 over 2000m defeating Racalmuto carrying 57kg at $8.20. Before that ran last of 7 at Maronas on February 8 over 1600m, 9 len behind Rio Flamengo with 55kg at $9.50. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.
