San Isidro Race 8 - Premio Don Mengano 2017 (Alternativa)
EL BANDERILLERO (7) wasn't far off maiden success before a nine weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track. Can pick up where he left off. Looks all set to kick the campaign off the right way. CHECO NOVO (2) made progress last start to finish second over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. ESCONDEDOR (4) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Gustavo Ernesto Romero. By Puerto Escondido from Lady Prankish. Expected to feature. ZUMA BOY (1) is fresh from a spell of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 1400m. In a different yard now.

Jumped at long odds at debut, ran second last of 11 at this track on June 3 over 1200m, 35 len behind Seguro Mio with 53kg at $44.15. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
