Merano Race 5

7 1/2F HCap

Prize Money: -

IDENTIFIED (1) Resumes from a break of 33 weeks. Claimed a tight victory last start around here on a heavy rated track. Should muster plenty of early toe. Live winning chance. HOLY DAY (7) Finished 5th last start at the track. Capable of bouncing back and will benefit with the weight drop. M Mammano Lupo is a key engagement. Right in this. DRAG LIFT (3) Lacked competitiveness when 4th last start at Pisa. Won't be far away during the run. Producing consistent results this preparation. Respect in this event. BURROBIRRA (6) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Treviso and drawn nicely. T Burchi is a smart booking. Looks to have a good chance of placing.

First up from a 33 week break. Really dug deep when winning last start here and will appreciate a good stall. Expecting to settle positively. Tough competitor.

At $3.25 not up to standard when 4th last start at Pisa. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Forward showing expected.

Odds of $10.00 and average effort when 5th last run at Pisa. Andrea Manuele stable are on a hot streak. Prefer in a much weaker race.

Started $8.00 and came in 5th last start around here. Capable of bouncing back and carrying less weight this time. M Mammano Lupo takes the reins today. Should go very close.
