Las Piedras Race 9 - Final Torneo "Walter Baez"
ANTONIO BANDERAS (2) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1100m at Melo when he finished third. This is his first run for the Franco Noel Rivero stable. Key runner who will be tough to beat. CONVICTION (1) finished second at Florida two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1300m at this track, finishing 8 lengths back in ninth. The engagement of Edison Rodrigo Rosas is noteworthy. Meets a stronger field but he is worth another chance. PLUS TIME (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1200m at Maronas, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at Florida at the previous outing. The engagement of Hector F Lazo is noteworthy. This doesn't look as hard so he will prove hard to beat. GRINGA LOCA (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1100m at Colonia. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Colonia on April 18 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Buenos Aires with 60kg at $3.10. The start before that came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Maronas on April 5 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Labor Day carrying 52kg at $12.90. Shouldn't trouble the top few.
