DON AURELIANO (3) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at the track. M Mammano Lupo rates highly. Been in the money each attempt this preparation. Key player. BABALLI (5) Ran well when 2nd last start at this venue. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Should be right in the finish. VALUTA STRANIERA (1) Snagged a narrow win last run at Florence and returning to more ground. In good condition since returning from a break and showing improvement in recent outings. Expected to fight out the finish. NORMANDY VISTA (7) Only fair when 8th last start around here but will appreciate a good draw. Will be motoring home late. One of the hopes.

Game effort to win narrowly last run at Florence and returns to more ground. In top racing shape since resuming from a spell. A Ferramosca is highly regarded. Attracts support.

Failed to threaten last start at Milano. Juerg Langmeier stable are on fire recently. Will need a big effort to win this.

Tidy effort when 3rd last time at the track. M Mammano Lupo is a plus. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 3 attempts. Great chance.

On a short back up. Odds of $29.00 and ordinary performance when 7th last start at the track but rising in distance. Likely to be well placed early. This won't be easy.

Started at $8.00 and disappointing effort when 8th last start around here but can save some energy from the draw. Should get going late. Watch early betting.
