Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at Corridonia. Displays good tactical speed. In a purple patch of form this preparation. Seems unlikely.

Ran 2nd last time at Varese but will be dropping in distance. In good condition since resuming from a break and gets a reduction in weight. Winning chance at nice odds.

Odds of $9.50 and was ordinary when 6th last run at this track but gets the perfect draw. Possesses good finishing speed. Suited by the weight drop. Entitled to be big odds.
