Maronas Race 6 - Handicap Especial Frank Hughes
CAMPEON AVENUE (4) started at $4 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Las Piedras over 1500m. Has the ability to find the winners' list. PAGLIUCA (9) didn't do a bad job when fifth last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. QUIXOTE (2) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1500m at this track. First try at the trip but he strips fitter and is ready to show what he can do. RUNNING GUN (1) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 2000m at Las Piedras on December 20. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
