Merano Race 1

2m 1 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

OCCHIO ALLA PENNA (5) Blitzed its rivals when winning last start at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Massive hope. ZAIN MASTER (8) Honest race when 2nd last start at this track and has a positive stall. Producing consistent results since resuming from a break. Rates well in this race. HEICHAL (3) Towards the rear last time at this track. Likely to bounce back. In the mix. JEUNE HOMME (4) Looked good when 3rd last time at the track. Have to respect the recent Zdenek Semenka form. Right in this.

Resuming after a break. Jumped at $19.00 and mediocre performance when 5th last time at Treviso. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.
