Gavea Race 8 - Classico Imprensa (L.) - Jair Balla S.
ZATARA (10) won last time out over 1000m at this track, and Vagner Borges, who was aboard that day, keeps the ride. Gets some weight relief this time. She should be prominent despite the awkward gate, and she will give another great sight. OZONE LAYER (9) was a winner at this track over this distance two back, then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when fifth at Listed level at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and is a leading player. LIKE IT HOT (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Well placed and likely to feature. TEA HUPO'O (12) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1000m contest at this track by 4 lengths. Should be involved in the finish, especially if the money comes for him. Something for the Multiples: TERRA DO FOGO (6)

Raced twice to date. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 7 at this track on April 27 over 1000m, 3 len behind Orquestra Bianca with 56kg at $3.50. Last start favourite; won by 7 len at this track May 26 over 1000m in heavy going defeating Flor De Minas carrying 56kg at $2.30. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
