Gavea Race 8 - Premio French Opera
RAFILDIS (9) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Can open winning account this time. ADDING SUGAR (10) is a beautifully bred three-year-old filly on debut. By Hofburg from Mud Pie who has produced a winner at the elite level. Ready to run well despite a tricky draw. TREE OF LIFE (2) finished midfield at her first run back from a spell last start over 1500m at this track when well in the market. Likely to go forward from a nice draw, so stick with her on an each-way basis. PRINCESA DE UKOK (6) faced the starter for the first time and was well supported but could only manage fifth last start at this track over 1300m. Better for that run and can improve sharply. Each way value.

Was well-supported at debut, ran second last in a small field at this track on September 7 over 1300m, 27 len behind Sheriff Lady carrying 57kg at $2.60. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.
