Merano Race 6 - 1m 7f Stakes
IRFAN (6) Strong performance to win last run around here and drawn nicely. Has not missed the money this campaign in 3 attempts and promising career start. Top prospects. BLINDING LIGHT (1) Was competitive when 2nd last time around here and fitter for debut run. Will be there at the finish. CLOTH OF MAI (3) Ran 6th last start in a hurdle at Clairefontaine. Happy to forgive that run and suited by the weight drop. Must respect. HECTOR THE KING (5) Initial race appearance 3yo by Bathyrhon for trainer Jana Novakova and gets the perfect draw. Watch for a sign in the market.

Tidy effort when 2nd last time around here and having second career run. A threat to the other main hopes.

Odds of $6.00 and ran 6th last start in a hurdle at Clairefontaine. Happy to forgive that run and gets a reduction in weight. Chance and can measure up.
