Gavea Race 8 - Premio Exclusive Star
OPPORTUNITY EXPERT (3) resumes after a three-and-a-half-month break and now joins the Flavio De Oliveira Assis stable. She was midfield over 1000m here when fresh last prep, but her best form measures up well in this company. Expected to feature. Take note of the market moves. OH THANK HEAVEN (1) returns from a ten-week spell and makes her debut for a new yard. She finished sixth when resuming over 1300m at this track last campaign and profiles as a solid first-up chance for the new connections, especially with all the early money coming for her. NORAH JONES (9) attracted strong market support when resuming over 1000m here and was beaten by just over a length into fourth. Fitter now and looks poised to improve. FRANCHEZZA BLADE (2) was sixth over 1000m at this track last start, when finishing not too far off the winner. She finds a suitable race and is capable of figuring in the top 4. Something for the Multiples: VIA TAORMINA (4)

Resuming. Only had one start last preparation 6th of 9 at this track on December 21 over 1300m, 16 len behind Outward Bound carrying 57kg at $16. When resuming last campaign 5th of 8 at this track on June 1 over 1300m, 14 len behind Oceanica carrying 56kg at $6.20. Could prove too smart for these.
