Las Americas Race 3

6 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

AGUACERO (5) Ran 2nd last start at the track. No surprise to see a win. RAULITO JR (4) Looked good when 2nd last run here and back to a longer distance. Has not missed the money this campaign in 3 attempts and goes down in weight. Suitably placed in this race. OPTIMIZER CROWN (1) Really dug deep when winning last start around here and has minimal work to do from the draw. Showing positive results this preparation. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat. BABY CAO'S (6) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track but down in trip. Running with confidence since returning from a break. Keep in mind.

Comments

Fought on gamely when winning last start at this venue and has drawn to do little work. A Irasoque has a high strike rate on board. Rates as one of the key chances.

Was competitive when 3rd last start here and can find a nice position from the draw. Been in the money frequently this preparation and showing improvement in recent outings. Looks highly doubtful.

Looked good when 2nd last run around here and stepping back up in distance. Has run into the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Strong claims in this.

Tidy effort when 2nd last run at this track but dropping in distance. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a spell. Value selection.
