NAISHA (2) Underperformed when 9th last start at Merano but gets a favourable draw. Jockey Alessio Satta and trainer Grizzetti Galoppo work well together. Strong chance. ANTHONY (3) Came in 2nd last time at Livorno. Maikol Arras and Stefano Botti have shared plenty of success together. Definite claims. SOPRAN LUCCA (1) First up today. Snagged a narrow win last run at Milano and will try to take advantage of the draw. Stable is in form. Solid each way claims. FLAMENCO BAY (5) First run back from a 27 week break. Did a good job when winning last time at Pisa and getting better in recent performances. Suited by the weight drop. Could run into the placings.
