Verdict

HOY OPERO (8) finished second two runs back at La Plata then improved last time out to score by half a length over 5f at La Plata. Walter Lautaro Garcia scored on him last time and retains the ride. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. BUFFALO SOLDIER (7) improved sharply on his tenth two starts back at San Isidro with success over 6 ½f at San Isidro two weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can go back-to-back. I'M PROUD (1) has not appeared since he got the cash over 5 ½f at San Isidro on April 8. One to consider. LINDO PIBE (6) was beaten 7 lengths into fourth in a 6f contest at La Plata at his latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
