NABUKI (2) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. LONGO AMOR (5) was well fancied on the back of a couple of minor placings but could only manage fifth last start over 1400m at this track. Worth noting Henderson Dos Santos Fernandes is the change of rider. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. PALAIS ROYALE (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1200m. Yet to break through at this journey but has placed at all four tries and shapes as one to consider. SENTINELA (4) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on April 21, finishing seventh over 1300m at Taruma. Starts this prep with Antonio Gomes Queiroz taking charge. Has a high cruising speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
