DOCHAS ARD (3) Looked good when 3rd last start here and gets a reduction in weight. Ale Mereu is a pivotal booking. Respect against this field. NEILETA (5) Came in 5th last time here. Overlooking the last run. Federico Bossa and Martina Giuffrida rate highly together. Winning hope. DARK EXPLOSION (2) Finished on top last run at this track and can save some energy from the draw. Should go close. WITH THE RAINFALL (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at the track and have to respect the form at this distance. Rising in weight. No shock to see a win.
