GUARDIAO DA LAGOA (5) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. LA PASSANTE (9) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1000m at this track. Has a sound record here with two wins and two minor placings from 10 starts. Expecting a bold showing. KATAMARA (7) finds it hard to win with two victories from 27 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1300m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason he cannot get the major prize. JA JA JA (4) is racing well on turf of late, hitting the frame two back at this track then improving to score at this track over 1000m three weeks ago. In form and sure to make his presence felt.
