Rome Race 7

5f Stakes

Prize Money: -

WHITE LOVE (6) Was competitive when 2nd last start at Florence and drawn beautifully. Jockey Dario Di Tocco rates highly aboard and suited by the weight drop. Will go well. ARGON FLASH (1) Strong performance to win last run at this venue. Stefano Botti stable are on a hot streak. Every chance today. KATHY LIGHT (3) Ordinary performance when 8th last run at this track but gets a reduction in weight. Should race on the speed. Solid place bet prospects. THE OLD GUARD (5) On a quick back up. Was ordinary when 12th last run at the track but will appreciate the drop in weight. Good to see Salvatore Sulas is jumping on. Keep in mind.

Jumped at $4.50 and uncompetitive when 5th last start at the track but has a positive draw. Has very good closing speed. Back to a shorter trip. Cannot have under these circumstances.

Jumped at $7.50 and fairly underwhelming when 8th last run around here but goes down in weight. Shows good early pace. Worth a serious look.

Ran well when 2nd last start at Florence and gets the perfect draw. Dario Di Tocco is a key booking and gets some weight relief. Will go close today.
