Gavea Race 3 - Premio Encore
DOMINIK (5) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 4th at Gavea over 1000m last start and placing 3rd two runs back at the same track and trip. NORAH JONES (4) was 4th over 1200m at Gavea last start and drops back to 1000m, which could suit. OPPORTUNITY EXPERT (2) has placed twice from five runs and was 3rd over this trip last year. ZAHLTAG (1) has struggled in recent starts but did finish 5th at Gavea two runs back. Dominik (5), Norah Jones (4), and Opportunity Expert (2) look the main hopes based on recent form.

Has struggled to make an impact in recent runs, finishing 10th of 10 last start at Gavea over 1000m on 7 Apr at $6. Previous two efforts were both 5th over this trip, including on heavy going at long odds. Yet to win from 8 starts but draws barrier 1 here. Needs to lift on recent form but could improve from the inside draw.
