In depth
Verdict
Zuleta, Calomeria, Bold Blade and Pepe look to be the principles in this seller and the vote is given to Zuleta. The selection is a game filly and she has been knocking on the door without quite getting her head in front. She lost no caste in defeat when second behind Oktis Moriloious last time and if she can reproduce that run here then she should take plenty of beating. Calomeria has been a little disappointing on her last two starts but she is dropped in trip here and as that will suit she should be capable of going close. Bold Blade is dropped in grade after disappointing in a handicap last time while Pepe is another eased in grade but she will have to improve significantly on her recent form to make the frame. This is a poor race which should not take much winning and Zuleta is given the vote.
