TRANCOSO (4) started at $5.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths at this track over 1000m. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. THE WARRIOR (9) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1300m at this track. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Marcus Aurelio Botelho. Expect him to play a major role. JOTAGE (2) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. OZONE LAYER (7) is fresh from a spell of a year and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 1000m. In a different yard now.
