SWEET BABY JAMES (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1000m. Has a strong record at this distance with a win and three minor placings from four starts and is right in this. JOCKS (3) has been mixing his form recently; last time he was well held over 1000m at this track last time out. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and four minor placings from nine runs. Well placed and should be in the finish. KLINGON (4) missed the frame two back on turf over 1000m at this track but improved sharply on the dirt last time, scoring over 1100m at this track. Expect he will go on with the job. JUNGLE FLOWER (5) comes here following a win over 1000m at this track four weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Has a win and one placing at this journey from three starts. Should be involved in the finish.

URBAN SILVER (6) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive win over 1000m at this track. Will carry more weight. Has a win and six minor placings at this journey from eight starts and should prove tough to beat. LIGHT WHITE (7) registered a strong win two runs ago over 1300m at this track. Fair effort last time out when sixth over 1300m at this track, arriving just 2.5 lengths from the winner. Finds a nice race and can make amends. SECRET STAR (4) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance nine weeks ago. Makes plenty of appeal. MIRAVAL (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Nicely placed to bounce back.

RIBBONINTHESKY (3) was prominent from the outset when third over 2400m at Group 2 level at this track last time out. Has multiple wins at this course. Will find this much easier. Sure to be there at the finish. EXCUSE ME PLEASE (6) got home by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and three minor placings. Giovanni Ferreira Santos stays on. Leading contender. PURA VIDA (4) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 1500m at this track four weeks ago. Can bounce back. MENTE BRILHANTE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten when eighth in a 2000m contest at this track four weeks ago. No reason he cannot play a major role.

LUZ DEL FUEGO (5) fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Great chance to break through. POINTER SISTERS (3) missed the placings two runs back at this track then improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten only half a length. Can build on that latest effort. JARGADIBA (7) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has upside and expected to run well again. IBIZA CIUDAD (6) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three chance.

KING FIVE (4) was resuming from a spell of four months last start when a solid second over this course and distance. Generally runs well when second up. Expected to be hard to stop. GRIPPEN (6) proved too strong two runs ago over 1500m at this track. Not as effective last time out when ninth over 1400m at this track, clocking in 9 lengths from the winner. Certainly worth forgiving that latest result. ATRELADO (3) turned in a modest performance when sixth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. That effort followed a good win over 1400m at this track at the previous outing. No reason he cannot play a major role. AMIGO LUIZ (7) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks close to a win and worth including.

OTTOMAN (5) improved sharply on his ninth two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1000m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths. Certainly one to consider again. BURGERMEISTER (2) is back from a spell of nine months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1000m at this track. Good record at this journey with four wins and five minor placings from 13 starts and is among the leading chances. BEM FEITO (8) missed the placings two runs back at this track then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Definitely worth including. QUASAR NEGRA (6) lines up on the back of a 5 length fifth over 1000m at this track. Can give this a shake.

LOS PAMPAS (6) has been in the betting of late but has failed to break through. Most recently finished fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Finds a nice race and looks a great chance to repay supporters. MARKETING (5) finished sixth last start over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid winning chance. NILMAR (2) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished fourth at his last run over 1300m at this track on December 6. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. QUALIFIED (4) broke through for his maiden win last start over 1300m at this track, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Bruno Viana Queiroz is aboard again. In fine form and should measure up again.

POKE BOWL (4) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. LIVIA LA CHIVETA (8) finished third last time out over 1300m at this track, making it five career minor placings. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Worth including. DJOKOVICA (2) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. CAMBRIDGE (7) is a six-start maiden who missed the placings last time when sixth over 1000m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.

PINDUCA (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 14 starts but he has been in the money on six occasions. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Alexandre Da Silva Correia stays on. Sure to run well. OLE (2) was fresh from a 11 months break last start and scored by 2 lengths at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Winning hope again. OLYMPIC CLASSY (3) missed the placings two starts back over 1500m at this track then ran a better race and finished 10 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1600m at this track. Prepared to give him another chance. UNDER PRESSURE (5) broke his maiden four starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 9 lengths into third over 1300m at this track. Winning rider Wilkley De Assis Xavier sticks. Solid claims on best form.
