Merano Race 2

2m 3f Stakes

Prize Money: -

ALLIED POWERS (5) Backing up quickly. Competitive effort when 2nd last start at this track. In top form this campaign. Jan Kratochvil rates highly aboard. Might have to make up considerable ground. Worth a bet. MENSCH (2) Did well when 2nd last start at the track. Has not missed the placings this campaign in 2 attempts. A win wouldn't surprise. MAZINGA (3) Resuming after a 27 week spell. Looked good when 3rd last run at Treviso and will try to take advantage of the draw. Jockey L Neprasova adds value. Can make a claim. NA SCOITEAR (4) Racing on a quick back up. Unsighted last run at this track. Can make a comeback and getting better in recent performances. Carrying less weight this time. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Backing up quickly for this race. Towards the tail last run at this track. Can make a comeback and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Has some claims.
