BIBENDUM (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance in stakes class at Cidade Jardim over 2400m on September 13. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. NEGRUMEEM (5) finished third last time over 1300m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage, so expect a forward showing. TWO SOCKS (9) was a clear runner-up here over 1400 metres last start, and while the margin was big, he still beat the rest comfortably and held his spot strongly. He strips fitter, stays at the trip, and this shapes as a very suitable race for him to go one better. ALWAYS LOVE YOU (1) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1300m at this track, finishing second and beaten a nose. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
