Gavea Race 7 - Premio Sassafras
DON NICO (9) In the money when 3rd last start at this venue. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Expected to fight out the finish. TOTALLY RIGHT (1) Underperformed when 6th last run at the track but gets the perfect gate. Going back up in distance. Right in this. LUNGAROTTI (4) Did well when 2nd last start at the track and was a debutant last start. Respect against this field. HURKACZ (7) Clearly outclassed when 5th last run at this track but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Hard to knock and looks a nice each way proposition.

Jumped at $6.50 and not up to scratch when 6th last run at this track but returning to an increased distance. Has drawn to do little work. Capable of winning this.

Resumes after a break of 58 weeks. Was $17.00 and below par performance when 11th last time at the track but fitter for debut run. Has a positive barrier. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Jumped at $2.50 and sub-standard effort when 6th last start at this track. Wesley Matheus Cardoso and Adelcio Menegolo are an appealing combination. Represents value in this race.

Started $7.00 and disappointing run when 7th last start at this track. Jockey Henderson Dos Santos Fernandes and trainer Fabricio Tieppo Borges must be respected together. Respect the betting.

Disappointing effort when 5th last run around here but putting a tidy record together. Chance and can measure up.

Jumped at $8.00 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last run at this venue. Roberto L Morgado Jr stable are on fire recently. Prefer a race with softer competition.
