First up from a break. Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at Milano and will try to take advantage of the draw. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

First up from a break of 52 weeks and nice run when 3rd first up last preparation at Milano. Have to respect the recent Marco Gonnelli form. Gets a chance against these.

On a short turnaround. Started at $2.62 and below par when 4th last start around here. Should bounce back. Mario Sanna and Grizzetti Galoppo deserve serious attention as a team. Will not be far away.
