Jumped at $4.00 and came in 4th last run at Livorno. Expecting improvement. F Branca and Stefano Botti are an imposing duo. Should be going forward early. One of the value chances in this race.

At $8.00 came in 5th last run at Merano. Has the potential to improve sharply and can find a nice position from the draw. Should run a competitive race.

Back from a 40 week break. Ran 2nd last run at Milano on a heavy rated track and showing consistent performance in races. Clodia Narduzzi stable are running hot lately. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.
