Spanish term or phrase: bazas
Same sources as my previous question:
"*** se arriesgó a los dos papeles tenoriles simultáneamente, lo que hoy es poco frecuente, y se agradece. No salió mal parado. Obviamente, sus medios son más para ‘Turiddu’ que para ‘Canio’. Sus mejores bazas son el timbre y el agudo."

I know the term is in the glossary. But I need new ideas or a confirmation.

virtues


Explanation:
Translating for the review context more than the word itself. In the sense of positive features, i.e., "His greatest virtues (as a singer) are..."
A bit more formal than Lisa's selling points but in the same vein.
Ace-in-the-hole would be another possibility in the sense of Jenni's trump cards but I think that's probably too colloquial here. And it phrases better when there's only one ace-in-the-hole than multiple.
