Gavea Race 5 - Premio Heracleon
ORWELLIAN (3) tackled much stronger company last start in the G1 Estado do Rio de Janeiro over 1600m at this track and was outclassed. Drops sharply in grade here and has the early speed to take up a forward position. Much better placed and expected to be competitive. OLYMPUS (1) is a progressive three-year-old colt resuming from a 12-week break. Won over 1100m at this track when last seen and has an excellent first-up record with two wins. Should be prominent from the outset. Each way claims. OLYMPIC PIKACHU (7) also resumes after ending his last campaign with a win over 1300m at this track. Valdinei Rocha Gil, who has won on him twice, retains the ride. Expected to be in the finish. TOBLERONE (5) is racing consistently and was a solid third over 1600m at this track last start. Well placed again and capable of another bold run.

Colt back from a spell of 12 weeks. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation to post a big 7 len win. This track December 15 over 1300m defeating Zarkos with 57kg at $2.50. First up last campaign third of 10 at this track July 20 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Iron Dollar with 57kg at $8.10. Has plenty of scope for improvement this time in work.
