NELL'ACQUERELLA (4) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Is at the races for the first time since she finished third over 1600m at this track on August 1. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. VERA LUCIA (1) looks to launch this prep the way she ended the last three-and-a-half months ago when she scored over 1500m at this track. Looms large. SHERIFF LADY (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1300m at this track with today's rider Wesley Matheus Cardoso engaged. Generally goes well here. One of the contenders. JOY FOREVER (8) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1300m contest at this track last time out by 4 lengths. Serious threat. VILLE BLACK HILL (7) resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at Cidade Jardim. Expect her to pose a serious challenge.
