BABALLI (1) Honest race when 2nd last start around here. Producing consistent results this campaign. Can go on with it. BEHOLDER (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Varese and gets the perfect draw. Have to respect the recent stable form and returning to an increased distance. Looks to be value. LOBSTER (2) Tailed off when 4th last time at Varese but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Bit of extra work to do with more weight. Looks promising in this race. NEVER SAY BOO (5) Placed 3rd last start here. Solid place bet prospects.

Jumped at $9.00 and average effort when 4th last time at Varese but good career start. Has more weight to carry. Rates as one of the key chances.
