Varese Race 2 - 7 1/2f Stakes
VELOCEMENTE (4) Won narrowly last run at Merano and solid career start. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation and has minimal work to do from the draw. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. STRADELLI (3) Was all too good winning last run at Livorno and can find a nice position from the draw. Have to respect the recent Stefano Botti form. Has genuine claims in this race. COASTKES (1) Looked good when 2nd last time at this venue. Jockey M Franco Acosta is in top form for this stable. Exhibiting good form since returning from a break. Solid place bet prospects. KODI BONITA (2) Blitzed its rivals when winning last start around here and was a debutant last start. Jockey Dario Di Tocco rates highly aboard. Outside chance.

Did well when 2nd last time here. Jockey M Franco Acosta and trainer Antonio Marcialis are an imposing duo. Looking sharp on the track since coming back from a break. In the mix against these.

Won easily last start around here and was on debut last time. Jockey Dario Di Tocco is in form. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.

Good win last run at Livorno and has a good draw. Very competitive this campaign and putting a tidy record together so far. A threat to the other main hopes.

Fought on gamely when winning last run at Merano and promising career start. Recent form of Grizzetti Galoppo is strong and has drawn the rails. Will run close.
