WUNDERBARR (7) Backs up quickly. Finished 4th last time at this track. Should improve here and dropping weight. Maikol Arras rates highly. Will give a big sight. EMPEROR OF LOVE (2) Fresh from a spell. Came in 2nd last run at Varese. Added confidence jockey with Dario Di Tocco doing the steering. Underrated. RAINMAKER (4) Game effort to win narrowly last start at this track. Keep in mind. THE ONLY ONE (5) Resuming. Was fighting out the finish when winning last time at Milano. Jockey Salvatore Sulas and trainer Filippo Sebastian Marras have a solid working relationship. Solid place bet prospects.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Competitive effort when 2nd last start at Livorno and has a good draw. Has shown early pace in races to date. Entitled to be big odds.

Racing fresh after a break. Started at $12.00 and clearly outclassed when 8th last run at Merano and has to cope with a weight increase. This won't be easy.

Backing up quickly for this race. Jumped at $1.50 and ran 4th last time around here. Should improve here and gets some weight relief. Maikol Arras is a plus. Strong claims in this.
