Gavea Race 5 - Premio Albatroz (Brasil 1943/1944)
METALLO (8) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before his last start, when managing only fifth over 1300m at this track. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is among the leading chances. FLOWER FIGHTER (10) faced the starter for the first time and finished seventh last start at this track over 1000m. Better for the run and can improve sharply. GARBOSO KOLLER (1) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time, beaten 6 lengths over 1000m at this track. Has the speed to be prominent. Likely to feature. HEROI DE PRATA (6) is appearing for the first time. By Can The Man, and is out of the Jose Ferreira Reis stable. Watch the market closely. NIKOON (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten half a length into third over 1000m at this track. Has the ability to produce another positive result.
