Gavea Race 5 - Premio Catete
KALUANA ARA (3) is a 10-start maiden who finished fourth at her most recent outing over 1500m at this track. This looks like a nice race, so expect her to go close to taking this out. OTTOBIANO (1) is a seven-start maiden who finished well back at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment this time, and he has a great chance to break through. DON'T STOP (6) is a six-start maiden who could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. SYMMETRY (5) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Leopoldo Jose Cury. Finished sixth at this track over 1300m at the opening run last time in work. Likely to be right in the finish here. Something for the Multiples: ZAKIYA (4)

Resuming after a three-and-a-half months break. Not seen since she finished last of 8 at this track October 6 over 1400m, 18 len behind Riyadh Do Iguassu carrying 54kg at $8.20. On debut sixth of 8 at this track September 15 2024 over 1300m, 27 len behind Spring Again carrying 57kg at $11.80. Certainly one to consider.
