SAUDE E SORTE (1) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in the tougher Estado do Rio de Janeiro won by Nagayama over 1600m at this track, beaten 20 lengths into 15th. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. NUCLEO TERRESTRE (6) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 11 lengths behind Ronigol over 1500m in Listed grade at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. NISSAN (9) has not raced since his debut back on October 27 when he finished sixth over 1400m at this track. Can improve sharply. DIAMOND PROSPECT (5) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1100m at Cristal. Has switched to the Adelcio Menegolo yard. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
