2M 1/2F Stakes

DIOTIME (1) Back from a spell. Pulled away to win last time at Pisa on a heavy surface and drawn the rails. Worth strong consideration. DARKALON (5) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at Treviso. Gains the services of jockey L Matusky. Definite claims. SUPASPECIALAWESOME (6) First up today. Struggled when 4th last start at Pisa but can find a nice position from the draw. Should race on the speed. This field suits. ASTAIRE (2) Fresh from a break. Well beaten when 7th last time at Pisa but gets some weight relief. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Include in chances.
