Merano Race 2

2m 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

GUAPA DE CERES (2) Placed 2nd last time at this venue. Added confidence jockey with Jan Kratochvil doing the steering. Will be in the finish. BASE BLU (4) Ran 3rd last time at this venue and will benefit with the weight drop. Serious contender. REZZANO (7) Finished 4th last run here. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Gab Agus is a suitable booking. Goes close. REXEEK (3) Ran 4th last start at this venue but has drawn to do little work. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Good prospect for the exotics at least.
