MAPONUS (5) Solid effort when winning last run at this track and ideal trip as proven previously. On a winning streak the last 2 runs and gets some weight relief. Right in this. HOT SUNSET (2) Towards the tail last start at Milano. Expecting improvement and gets the perfect draw. Jockey D Cherio rates highly aboard. Underrated. HOLY DAY (4) Was all too good winning last time around here and will try to take advantage of the stall. Expect to go close. BLACK LASER (6) Towards the rear last time at Milano. Happy to overlook that run. Putting up notable efforts this campaign. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

At $8.00 average performance when 7th last run at this venue but gets a reduction in weight. T Burchi adds value. Hard to see this being competitive today.
