CONTESSA (7) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, at this track over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. MELNIKOVA (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1300m. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. OLYMPIC ORANGE (6) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Henderson Dos Santos Fernandes gets the best out of this five-year-old mare. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. RAINHA DA SUCATA (4) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1300m at this track after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
