BEST LIGHTNING (2) finished 2L fifth in the G2 Premio Vittorio Di Capua over 1600m at Milan. Selected to record his second win at this venue. VAISSEAU FANTOME (5) looks a big threat on his first start since a 12L fifth attempting a 2000m handicap at Munich in November. THEKINGOFMYHEART (1) came home 2.75L third over 1950m at this circuit. Shortlist. RAIKE (6) could have an impact on her first outing of 2025.
