Siracusa Race 2

6f Hcap

Prize Money: -

DARK BEAT (3) Placed 3rd last run here but has more weight to carry. Respect in this event. INVINCIBLE RONALDO (6) Winner last time around here. K Tarascio and Salvatore Scalora are usually competitive together. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. BECARDO (4) Below par performance when 10th last time at this track and hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Can win. ERNANDO (5) On a quick back up. Tidy effort when 3rd last start at this venue and has the ideal draw. In the placings on multiple occasions this preparation. Keep in mind.

Odds of $15.00 and was ordinary when 12th last start here and going up in weight. Antonino Cannella is a plus. Looks too tough.

On a short turnaround. Tidy run when 3rd last start at this track and has drawn to do little work. Gets some weight taken off. Significant value and can go close.
