Las Americas Race 7

Claiming

Stake: -

COGNAC (1) Came in 3rd last run around here and gets the perfect draw. J Ortiz and S Lopez deserve serious attention when combined. Producing consistent results this preparation. No shock to see a win. LATTIF (4) Backing up quickly. Uncompetitive when 4th last run around here. Jockey J Barajas adds value. Can get the job done. MAS MEJOR (5) Snagged a narrow win last start here and getting better in recent performances. L Aburto is an advantage. Contender. RODIN (7) First up. Really dug deep when winning last run around here. Should go close

Ran well when 3rd last run at this venue and has drawn the rails. J Ortiz and S Lopez are a duo to watch closely. Chance and can measure up.

On a quick back up. At $2.87 not up to standard when 4th last run at the track. J Barajas is a suitable booking. Has a credible chance.

Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last start at this track and demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. L Aburto is a crucial engagement. Worthy of strong consideration.
