Back from a break. Failed to threaten last run at Milano. Capable of bouncing back and back over more ground. Dario Vargiu usually performs well for the Andrea Manuele stable. Expect support.

Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Milano and good career start. Jockey Federico Bossa is currently in strong form for this stable. Going well this campaign. Contender at a nice price.

Towards the rear last time at Milano. Giving another go here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Dario Di Tocco is a crucial engagement. Hard to have.

Jumped at $4.33 and well beaten when 5th last run at this venue but gets some weight relief. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Looks optimistic.
