MAVERICK (4) returns for the first time since April 6 and will be aiming to replicate his successful fresh performance at this track last preparation. He is expected to make his presence felt. PRIME FORTUNE (9) was a dominant winner over 1300m at this venue last start, with Wilkley De Assis Xavier retaining the ride. He possesses the early speed to offset the draw and is poised to play a major role again. SMARTBRAIN (7) produced another strong performance when finishing a narrow second over 1400m at this track most recently. He is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance and appears well placed to deliver another bold showing. JEDINAK (1) showed improvement last time out, finishing third over 1400m here. The engagement of Valdinei Rocha Gil is noteworthy, and in a suitable contest he has solid claims of another top-three finish.
