Verdict

PORTUGUESA MIA (4) is a 15-start maiden who finished a sound fourth at her latest appearance over 5f at San Isidro. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SANTA LA NEGRA (9) is on debut for the Sergio Fabian Perez stable. Four-year-old mare by Santillano from Air Five. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. NIATA EVA (11) is a seven-start maiden who finished fifth at her most recent appearance over 5f at this track. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes. JANE BOMB (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at La Plata. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
