Stud Levalle enters a dual threat in the Florentino Ameghino
Maylena and Qué Buena B form a formidable entry for this Sunday's feature race at La Plata, but Let Me Dance, Tac Tac, and the San Isidro contender Party Girl promise to make their task far from easy
LA PLATA.— Stud Levalle will send out a formidable two-pronged entry this Sunday at La Plata Racecourse, where the Clásico Florentino Ameghino (1200 m, dirt) highlights an eleven-race card.
Restricted to fillies and mares 4-year-olds and up under weight-for-age conditions, the contest lured a field of eight, headed by Maylena and Qué Buena B, both seeking to capitalize on their sharp current form and extensive track records. Stablemates and daughters of Que Vida Buena, both are stakes winners forming a powerful partnership, though they will have to navigate a race containing several dangerous opponents.
Maylena arrives buoyed by victories in three of her last four outings, a streak that speaks volumes of her prime form. Her most recent conquest came in the Handicap Revista Palermo, confirming she has reached full racing maturity and that 1200 meters remains her ideal trip. Consistent, sharp, and lethal late, she stands out as an unavoidable focal point.
Qué Buena B, meanwhile, has long competed admirably against top sprinters and enters off a solid third-place finish in the local Especial Chubut Club de Mar del Plata. Her wealth of experience in these events adds significant substance to the Levalle entry.
Naturally, that recent clash brings Let Me Dance (Le Blues) squarely into focus, having scored in that Jockey Club de Mar del Plata while relegating Tac Tac (Manipulator) to second and Qué Buena B to third. All three will rematch in short order, offering a prompt opportunity to either confirm or overturn that form line.
Let Me Dance enters brimming with confidence and tasked with proving her victory was no fluke. That triumph instantly established her as a main threat to the favored entry and offers her a stage to consolidate her position among the top female sprinters at La Plata.
Tac Tac cannot be overlooked in any analysis either. She finished ahead of Qué Buena B when chasing home Let Me Dance, a direct line that thrusts her right into the thick of the argument. If she can find even modest improvement off that effort, she will have every argument to contest the win.
Shipping in from San Isidro is Party Girl (Outstrip), representing Stud RDI and bringing a fresh form line to the fold. She comes off a sixth-place finish in the Clásico General Las Heras (G3), 7 1/2 lengths behind Stormy Summer(Nicholas), against tough company. The change of scenery and step back down in distance could unlock a far more competitive showing.
With eight runners and plenty of scores to settle, the Florentino Ameghino promises a captivating outcome. Levalleholds two major reasons for optimism, but Let Me Dance and Tac Tac have already proven capable of troubling Qué Buena B, while Party Girl arrives intent on disrupting an equation that appears settled—though perhaps not entirely so.
