Gavea Race 8 - Premio Obataye - 2024
PICTO (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $5.20. Looks well placed, so expect a big run this time, and he goes on top for us in this field. CANBERRA (6) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished sixth over 1000m at this track. Worth including. JOLIE LADY (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1000m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and three minor placings from five starts. Expected to feature. RIDLEY CRY (8) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1100m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time.

First-starter by Bold Start out of Alegoria. Prefer to see her at the races before recommending.
