NORTH MAJOR (2) is returning from a spell of five months. Finished fifth at Taruma over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Marcus Aurelio Botelho, and the early money says he is the one to beat fresh up. SO PROUD (4) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. PACKAGED GOODS (1) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing tenth over 1300m at this track last start. Should be in the mix. XILLOW (3) is returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Cristal over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer C G Netto. Each way respect.
