MADAME BOONE (2) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track. Has a decent record at this circuit with a win and three minor placings from nine starts. Sure to prove tough to stop. ZABAR'S (8) opened this prep last start with a seventh, beaten 22 lengths, over 1600m at Cidade Jardim. Has a good record at this journey with two wins from three starts. Sure to prove tough to stop. PASTEUR (5) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from four runs this campaign, finishing 0.8 lengths away in second most recently over 1300m at this track. Among the leading chances. QINTAR (9) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten just one length.
