Race 1: 22:00 Gavea Race 1 - Claiming BRA 0m 4f 214y
3rd (2)  Desir Infini | | | | | 4 | Jose Da Aparecido | Ivan Jeronimo | She's shown little so far and is hard to fancy. |
5th (4)  New Account | | | | | 4 | Daniel Costa Staiti | Jairo Borges | Similar level of form across her five starts. More will be needed to play a leading role. |
2nd (5)  Tallulah | | | | | 4 | Leandro De Henrique | Jose Reis | Not disgraced on debut but she failed to back it up. A player if returning to that earlier form. |
1st (1)  Samarina | | | | | 4 | Joao Victor Brasil | R Morgado | This represents a drop in grade and she must enter calculations. |
4th (6)  Nuvem De Oort | | | | | 4 | Henderson Dos Fernandes | Leonardo Dos | Expected to mount a serious challenge. |
(3)  Slackline | | | | | 4 | Waldomiro De Blandi | Venancio Nahid | Has the form to compete; high on the shortlist. |
(7)  Lanakila | | | | | 5 | Anderson Alves De | Igor Botelho | Had plenty of chances now, and she's likely to find a few too strong once again. |
Thrown in at the deep end on her debut before contesting another higher grade of race last time, NUVEM DE OORT can make it third-time lucky in these calmer waters. Slackline appeals as the main threat, while Samarina heads the remainder.
Race 2: 22:30 Gavea Race 2 - Claiming BRA 0m 6f 102y
2nd (7)  Pot Happy | | | | | 7 | Viitorio De Vinycios | Roberto Da | Out of sorts recently and he is up against it here. |
5th (1)  Like A Champion | | | | | 6 | Francisco Igo Chaves | Alvaro Castillo | Won a similar C&D event last time out, but he will need a bit more to follow up. |
7th (4)  Joao Da Jandinha | | | | | 8 | Leandro De Henrique | Leonardo Dos | Below-par on his last couple of outings, and he will need to bounce back. |
6th (5)  Ethiope | | | | | 6 | Thiago Martins Cristian | Luiz Fernandes | He's been in decent form of late and can be expected to be on the premises. |
3rd (8)  Que Vida Loca | | | | | 6 | Henderson Dos Fernandes | Leonardo Dos | Consistent without gaining any reward, and minor honours might be her best hope once again. |
4th (2)  Skyfleet | | | | | 6 | Joao Victor Brasil | Daniel Peres | On target over 7f here recently and with a drop in trip unlikely to hinder his chances, he looks a solid contender. |
1st (3)  Del Camina | | | | | 6 | Matheus Menezes Aguiar | Claudio De | Commands respect. |
(6)  Saint Barth | | | | | 7 | Wilkley De Xavier | Marcus Botelho | An excellent second in stakes company last time; key player. |
SAINT BARTH sets a useful standard having finished second in a stakes contest last time out. The six-year-old's latest success came in allowance company back in April, and he ought to take all the beating now eased into a claimer. Del Camina and Skyfleet are feared most.
Race 3: 23:00 Gavea Race 3 - Maiden BRA 0m 5f 103y
2nd (1)  Sweet Mary Helen | | | | | 4 | Henderson Dos Fernandes | Julio Sampaio | Last of five but far from disgraced on her debut, she appeals as a likely improver. |
1st (7)  Noizette Potato | | | | | 4 | Wilkley De Xavier | Jose Reis | Not without a chance. |
(2)  Saphira | | | | | 4 | Leandro De Henrique | Julio Sampaio | Disappointed having been well supported on her racecourse bow; better can be expected. |
(3)  Algorithm | | | | | 4 | Vagner Borges | Jose Lopes | She sets the form standard and is one of the likelier winners. |
(4)  Rashaiya | | | | | 4 | Giovanni Ferreira Santos | Fabricio Borges | The betting could reveal some clues. |
(5)  Opus Dei | | | | | 4 | Joao Victor Brasil | Victoria Mota | Has the ability to figure, and she's worth a second look ahead of her course debut. |
(6)  Conversa Fiada | | | | | 4 | Valdinei Rocha Gil | Jose Reis | Likely to find a few too strong. |
Saphira and Sweet Mary Helen both appear likely to step forward from what they showed on their racecourse debuts, but ALGORITHM has some decent form in the book and she's expected to prove too strong.
Race 4: 23:30 Gavea Race 4 - Claiming BRA 0m 4f 214y
2nd (2)  Baby Laura | | | | | 4 | Leandro De Henrique | Julio Sampaio | Largely struggled so far and she will need to raise her game. |
1st (4)  Celebre Rocha | | | | | 5 | Matheus Menezes Aguiar | Roberto Da | Consistent without being able to notch up a maiden triumph; on the premises. |
(1)  Micanga | | | | | 4 | Anderson Alves De | Victor Gomes | Close second in a similar C&D event last time; she is unlikely to be far away. |
(3)  Felice Maria | | | | | 5 | Henderson Dos Fernandes | Breno Piovesan | Showed more when third over 1200m here last time, but more will be required for win purposes. |
(5)  C'est La Vie | | | | | 4 | Thiago Martins Cristian | Jose Silva | Yet to show anything of note and she is best watched for now. |
(6)  Wochenende | | | | | 5 | Daniel Costa Staiti | Marcus Botelho | Finished ahead of Dalhelizboa (sixth) on her track debut recently. Could provide some value. |
(7)  Dalhelizboa | | | | | 4 | Joao Victor Brasil | Luiz Vieira | Others hold more pressing claims. |
MICANGA was just touched off in a similar C&D contest last time out and, while some of her rivals arrive with something to prove, this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better. Celebre Rocha and Wochenende can battle it out for minor honours.
Race 5: 00:00 +1d Gavea Race 5 - Claiming BRA 0m 4f 214y
(1)  Lalaloopsy | | | | | 5 | Wandryck Cardoso Franco | Igor Botelho | She's steadily improving and is one of the likelier winners here. |
(2)  Pitanga | | | | | 5 | Valdinei Rocha Gil | Jose Reis | Needs to better recent performances. |
(3)  Sabida | | | | | 4 | Igor Ribeiro Mendes | Jaime Barreto | Yet to land a blow in her four career starts, and others are preferred. |
(4)  Anajamile | | | | | 4 | Leandro De Henrique | Marcio Rocha | Has claims on the pick of her form, but more will be needed to come out on top. |
(5)  Rosy Court | | | | | 4 | Wilkley De Xavier | Marcus Botelho | The betting ought to reveal some clues ahead of her course debut. |
(6)  Kad Kiteria | | | | | 5 | Joao Victor Brasil | Jose Lopes | Just about sets the form standard and she is the one to beat. |
(7)  Billbouquet | | | | | 4 | Matheus Menezes Aguiar | Marcello Borioni | Far from disgraced on her debut; could improve. |
This will not take much winning, and if KAD KITERIA can find a little more progress then a maiden triumph looks a distinct possibility. Lalaloopsy and Rosy Court are others to consider.
Race 6: 00:30 +1d Gavea Race 6 - Allowance BRA 0m 6f 211y
(1)  Dito E Feito | | | | | 5 | Wesley Matheus Cardoso | Leonardo Dos | On target over C&D last time out; he has to enter the reckoning. |
(2)  Mega Man | | | | | 5 | Joao Victor Brasil | Venancio Nahid | Couldn't land a blow over 5f last time, but perhaps the return to further will aid his cause. |
(3)  Lambert | | | | | 7 | Jose Da Aparecido | Edson Ricardo | Came up short in his hat-trick bid last time but he remains of significant interest. |
(4)  Aladim | | | | | 5 | Henderson Dos Fernandes | Luiz Costa | Can mount a serious challenge now eased in grade. |
(5)  Fantastic Point | | | | | 5 | Viitorio De Vinycios | Jose Lopes | Been a while since his last success and others hold more pressing claims. |
(6)  Taxman | | | | | 6 | Wandryck Cardoso Franco | Marcus Botelho | Faces a stiff assignment. |
(7)  Positivo | | | | | 7 | Waldomiro De Blandi | Carlos Rodrigues | Recorded a comfortable course success recently, but this is more demanding. |
(8)  Madonna | | | | | 5 | Leandro De Henrique | Julio Sampaio | Second on her penultimate start but made amends with a commanding success last time out; respected. |
MADONNA would have been a popular winner when scoring by two and a half lengths recently, and a similar display can see the four-year-old repeat the dose today. Aladim drops in grade and is an obvious threat, while Lambert must also enter calculations.
