Prize Money: -

JED ROAD (2) Put the head down when winning last start here. C Wendel is a strong choice aboard. Sure to be thereabouts. DON AURELIANO (1) Ran well when 2nd last time around here and goes down in weight. Been in the placegetters each start this preparation. Looks promising in this race. BABALLI (5) Placed 2nd last run at the track. Very competitive this campaign. Must be considered. AGENT ZERO (4) Towards the rear last start at Milano but gets a favourable draw. Should get going late. D Cherio is highly regarded. Watch it go close.

Failed to threaten last start at Milano but can save some energy from the draw. D Cherio is a key booking. Will be trying to topple them late. Not at all out of this race.

Back from a break. Towards the rear last run at Milano but rising in trip. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Rising in weight. Rough chance today.
