Merano Race 1

2m 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

COMBAT STRATEGY (7) Towards the tail last time at this venue. Looking for an improved run. A Pollioni is highly regarded. Looking sharp on the track this campaign. In the mix. ABANOS (1) Ran 2nd last time at this track and hard to fault at this distance. J Bartos usually performs well for the Matteo Bonetti stable. Has a good draw. Goes very close. EL BULLI (3) Looked good when 3rd last time here. Exhibiting good form this campaign. Have to respect the recent Marco Giuseppe Rota form. Among the major players. QUANTUM MEMORIES (5) Resuming after a spell. Gave nothing else a chance when winning last time here. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Came in 2nd last time at this track and ideal trip as proven previously. Jockey J Bartos consistently rides well for this stable. Chance and can measure up.

Honest race when 3rd last time at the track. Has been a model of consistency since returning from a spell. Marco Giuseppe Rota has been training plenty of winners recently. Must respect.

Honest race when 2nd last time at the track and can save some energy from the draw. Gab Agus is a key engagement and suited by the weight drop. Keep safe for trifectas.
