THE WARRIOR (3) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 1500m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to bounce back. NARIZ EMPINADO (5) was well-fancied when resuming last start but could only manage fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1200m in the G3 Riboletta at this track. Has a solid second up record. Leading chance on best form. TREASURE CARTIER (4) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on his tenth two starts back in the G3 Prefeitura da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro at this track with success as public elect over 1500m at this track seven weeks ago, getting home by 8 lengths. Likely to be there at the finish again. RELAMPAGO (7) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
