ALTO GRADIMENTO (1) Spaced the field to win last start at this track and putting a tidy record together. Has a good draw. Winning hope. VASTA PRATERIA (7) Ran 4th last run at this venue. Happy to overlook that run. Ga Volpe and Matteo Bonetti make an imposing pair. Genuine winning chance. COPPI (3) Won by a big margin last run here and has the ideal draw. In good condition this preparation and showing consistent performance in races. Getting better in recent performances. Can go on with it. FAIR MASAR (4) Unsighted last run here. Should improve from the last run and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. Could win with the right run.

Came in 5th last start around here. In a purple patch of form since resuming from a spell. A Pollioni is a strong choice aboard. Too much luck needed to come into contention.
