NOPPO (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1300m at this track. A bold showing is expected. ALONGADO KENTUKY (6) was in the money on the dirt at this track two runs ago then backed it up with a win, also on dirt, at this track over 1200m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Will be hard to beat again. TRANCOSO (4) returns from a spell of four months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Cidade Jardim over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Sound top-three prospects. NEGRESCO (5) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 3 lengths last time out over 1000m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
