Merano Race 2 - 1m 3f Stakes
GHAIYYATH DEER (3) Resumes from a break. Was ordinary when 5th last run at Chelmsford. May see an upturn in form and has the ideal draw. Dario Di Tocco is a smart booking. Will go close today. FAVONIO (2) First up from a break of 10 weeks and finished 2nd first up last preparation at Milano. Expect to go close. LAFONTAINE (4) Resuming. Towards the rear last time at Florence. Should improve and has a good draw. Dario Vargiu and Nicolo Simondi have shared plenty of success together. Can take this out. CHESHIRE CAT (1) First up after a break of 29 weeks. Faded to finish 4th last run at Kempton but will appreciate the drop in weight. Don't dismiss.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Odds of $7.00 and lacklustre showing when 5th last run at Chelmsford. May see an upturn in form. Strong claims.

Resuming after a break. Unsighted last time at Florence. Should improve and drawn nicely. Jockey Dario Vargiu and trainer Nicolo Simondi are a pair that can't be ignored. Strong prospects in this race.
