OVIEDO (7) ran below expectations last time in the G2 Joao Borges Filho at this track over 2400m, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Joao Victor Brasil, who has three wins when partnering, stays on. Certainly one to consider. GESTO NOBRE (2) is a talented type who recently returned from a break and made it three straight wins, scoring by a head over 2800m at Cidade Jardim. Should appreciate the longer journey and is expected to be in the finish again. TAMARA (3) is a genuine type with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Produced another good performance last start when third over 2400m in the G2 Almirante Marques de Tamandare at this track. Has the ability to take this out. GOLD CHANNEL (5) lines up on the back of solid fourth over 2400m at this track. Key player at some each-way value.
