GLADIADOR DA LAGOA (2) returns from a break of six months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a eighth over 1300m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. L'INEVITABLE COURS (7) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in second over 1300m at this track. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. TULUM (6) won narrowly by 0.8 lengths two runs back at this track then missed the frame last time at this track. Gets a little weight relief. Expected to be competitive. GOLDEN EYE (3) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.
