Las Piedras Race 5

PRATO CITY (4) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by one length over 1800m at this track. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all four starts, including a win and is right in this. OLYMPIC NEYMAR (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at this track, beaten 15 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. TEMPLE DE ACERO (3) was a winner last time over 2000m at Maronas and re-unites with Hector F Lazo who steered on that occasion. Nice weight drop so another bold run looks likely. EL CHANTA (2) finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals.
