Florence Race 4 - 7 1/2f Stakes
LA CASTELLANA (4) Left nothing to chance when winning last run at Merano and showing consistent performance in races. Stefano Botti stable are on a hot streak. Should go well. DIVINA LUPA (2) Resuming after a break. Solid effort when winning last run at Siracusa. Definite claims. DIN DON (1) Disappointing outing when 6th last time here. Recent form of Stefano Botti is strong. Respect against this field. PIPPONERO (7) First up after a break. Scored a victory last start at Livorno and was on debut last time. Jockey Gabriele Malune and trainer Pierantonio Convertino go well together. Each way value for this race.

Started $3.25 and sub-standard effort when 6th last time at the track. Stefano Botti stable are running hot lately. Watch early betting.

Fresh today after a break. Finished on top last run at Siracusa. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.

Chimed in with a win last run at Merano and good career start. Stefano Botti stable are on fire recently. Should go close.

First run back from a break. Failed to threaten last run at Chilivani but was a debutant last start. Jockey Nino Murru is a plus and drawn the rails. Prefer to watch.

Fresh after a spell. Was first to greet the judge when winning last start at Livorno and having second race start. Has a good draw. Racing over more ground. Capable of winning this.
