LA PLATA.- A 13-race program marks Holy Thursday at La Plata, headlined by the Especial Malvinas Argentinas at five furlongs for 4-year-olds and up with at least three career victories.

Folke Dancer looks primed to take advantage of his current run of form as he settles into the sprinting division, though he must carry the 58-kilo high weight. The Forge colt arrives having recently swept the Especial Pura Velocidad and Especial Veloces at Dolores, sandwiched around a runner-up effort behind Vespaciano (Daniel Boone) in the Especial Bernabeu over this track.

The main threat is the 4-year-old Oro Azteca (Empire Aztec, 54). The youngest runner in the lineup, he is looking to regain the spark that saw him capture the Handicap Haras Don Florentino last term and run third to Le Cornette(Emmanuel) in the Clásico Paraguay (G3).

Cántaros Song (Alcindor, 56) also exits the Bernabeu, where he finished third, 2 1/2 lengths behind Folke Dancer. Representing Stud Nuestro Sueño, he is a proven winner at this class level.

Por Ahí (Qué Vida Buena, 54) remains a dangerous contender if he can bounce back from a dull recent effort; he was a strong second to Cerrito Piñón (Manipulator) in the Especial Parlanchín at San Isidro earlier this year.

Curioso Pochi (Curioso Slam, 54), Magyar (Lenovo, 56), and Pernicioso (Daniel Boone, 52) round out a well-matched field.
