Gavea Race 3 - Premio Rio Tinto
ARGY BARGY (1) has raced twice. Was fifth on debut then fought on gamely for third last time out over 1400m at this track. Should settle in the leading division. Heading in the right direction and looks the one to beat. UPA NEGUINHO (5) returned from a spell a month ago when he a fair sixth over 2000m at Cidade Jardim. Won't find this as tough so he is a leading top 4 player. REGAL HUPP (4) is facing the starter for the first time. By Can The Man and is out of the R Morgado (Jnr) stable. Expected to feature. UFFICIO (3) was a sound fourth in a 2000m contest at Cristal two months ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the top 3 this time.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 61-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Cristal on September 10 over 2000m, 25 len behind Tavari with 57kg at $26.10. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Cristal on July 30 over 1600m, on a wet track; 13 len behind Tavari with 57kg at $66. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
