Merano Race 5

1M 7F Stakes

Prize Money: -

SOPRAN PRATO (9) Fresh today after a 30 week break. Towards the tail last run at this track but going over extra ground. Good prospects. GRAY CHANCE (3) Back from a break. Lacklustre showing when 13th last run at Pisa but racing over a longer distance. L Matusky is a crucial engagement. Has the ability to figure. DARK DEFENCE (2) Resuming. Unimpressive effort when 9th last start at Pisa but rising in distance. Jan Kratochvil rates highly. Well placed and has solid claims. KINGOFPARIS (4) Ran well when 3rd last run at Pisa and stepping up in trip. Jockey Ga Volpe and trainer Raffaele Romano deserve serious attention. Drawn the rails. Must respect.
