COUNTERACT (3) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in second when he made late ground at the end of 6½f at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to prove hard to beat. HORATIO (1) missed the placings last time out over 1m1/2f at this track. Prior to that had won three races on end. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from nine starts. A bold showing is expected. BROKE AN BROKEN (2) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 1.5 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. The engagement of Antonio Ambrosio Reyes is noteworthy. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he can get the job done. BIG UNION (4) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 0.3 lengths to spare over 1m1/2f at this track. Not to be discounted.
