Gavea Race 1 - Premio Fantastic Dancer
MELNIKOVA (2) has turned her form around nicely, finishing second two starts ago before breaking through with a determined win by nearly a length over 1400m here last time. She remains well placed and can make it back-to-back wins. SYMMETRY (3) resumes off a break and has enough ability to be competitive if she returns near her best. CONTESSA (4) was only narrowly denied over the same trip last start behind the top pick in the same race, and she has a chance to turn the tables in this. TOP OF THE HILL (6) has been struggling for form but possesses good early speed and can improve sharply if able to dictate. Keep safe.
