ESMERALDA GAR (12) First start at the races for trainer P Palumbo. Watch the betting. EVITA SAMA BLACK (2) Resuming after a spell of 32 weeks. Failed to threaten last start at Taranto. Giving another chance here. Recent form of the stable is strong. Serious player. ELSY DEI GREPPI (8) First up from a 52 week spell. Placed 3rd last run at Taranto and having second race start. S Gallo stable are having a great run of late. Genuine winning chance. CARONTE GRIF (16) Towards the rear last run around here but going back up in trip. D Sr stable are on a hot streak. Worth an each way bet in this.
