Peterzil's trichotomy conjecture for o-minimal relics

Let $\mathcal R$ be an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field, and let $\mathcal M$ be a non-locally modular strongly minimal $\mathcal R$-relic, meaning a strongly minimal structure whose definable sets are interpretable in $\mathcal R$. Here $R[i]$ denotes the algebraically closed field obtained by adjoining a square root $i$ of $-1$ to the real closed field $R$. Peterzil's conjecture. The structure $\mathcal M$ interprets a copy of the algebraically closed field $R[i]$. This is a restricted version of Zilber's trichotomy conjecture for strongly minimal structures interpreted in o-minimal structures; the source presents it as a conjecture posed by Peterzil, and no resolution is supplied here.
