NERA BELLA (9) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 3 lengths over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SANTOS DUMONT (8) lines up for the first time since November 10. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Cidade Jardim. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from four tries. Has found a suitable race. MARRON FIVE (4) has accrued two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Produced another good effort at his most recent run when third over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time, but he has the ability to test this field. MEDOC (1) was a sound fourth over 1400m at this track last time out. Top hoop Henderson Dos Santos Fernandes gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Suitably placed so he can turn things around. Each way value.
