Maronas Race 5 - Amarula (2024)
EL TUBER STORM (8) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when second over 1600m at this track, beaten 0.3 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can rediscover winning form. UNIVERSAL HORSE (2) last appeared when he finished seventh over 2400m in the G2 General Artigas at this track on February 8. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from five starts. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SAVE THE KING (4) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1600m, beaten 0.3 lengths. Carlos S Mendez who has scored on him four times retains the mount. One of the main contenders. FOLLOW THE LEADER (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 28 lengths away in seventh over 2000m at Las Piedras. Worth noting Eric Acosta goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
