HORA DA VITORIA (11) is backing up seven days after finishing second over 1200m at this track. Drawn out but is likely to be in the finish. XIS RAIO (6) turned in a strong run two starts ago at this track then failed to back it up over 1300m at this track last time, beaten 10 lengths into fifth. Coming back in trip suits so is expected to be in the finish. POINT DO JARAU (12) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1300m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but he is a solid top-three hope. LINDA DO RECIFE (2) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1200m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
