OLYMPIC OMAN (10) scored last start in the G3 Luiz Fernando Cirne Lima at Gavea over this distance. Has a fine winning strike-rate over this journey with three wins from four starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. MEDJOOL (12) scored by 5.5 lengths when resuming last start in the G2 Verano - Arturo Cousino L at Club Hipico De Santiago over this distance. Has found the frame in all 12 starts at this journey, including six wins. Takes on much easier opposition this time. Sure to run well. THE GLADIATOR'S HAT (2) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of 11 weeks and looking to emulate his win at La Plata to kick off the last campaign. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. THOR MEDINA (13) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 2000m in the G1 Gran Premio Miguel Alfredo Martinez de Hoz at San Isidro at his last appearance on February 7. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.
