RIONE TERRA (3) First run back from a break. Placed 3rd last time at Treviso. A Ferramosca is very comfortable aboard. Strongly consider. SOPRAN TUCANO (1) Strong performance to win last start at the track and drawn beautifully. I Nero has been successful previously. Running with confidence this preparation. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. MAPONUS (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Should come to hand quickly. Not out of this. SISTER OF LOVE (4) Placed 3rd last start at Florence. Does take a while to get into stride. One of the hopes.

Got the cash when winning last start around here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Been in the money on multiple occasions this preparation. Holds a major chance.

Odds of $67.00 and underperformed when 9th last start at this track but gets some weight taken off. Highly unlikely to feature here.
