PERSIAN GIRL (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1000m at this track when third. Likely improver, so she should pay to follow. UP THERE (1) is on debut for the Carlos De Souza Rodrigues stable. Two-year-old filly by Drosselmeyer from La Madeleine. Looks like a definite contender, particularly if the money comes for her. ROYAL CRY (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth when starting at $4.70. Suitably placed, so anticipating a big run this time. USURPADORA (5) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer Alnei De Almeida Barreto. Finished fifth at this track over 1000m at the opening run last time in work. A solid return is anticipated.
