2m 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

PIRLO (7) -95yo by Amaron having initial appearance for trainer. Jockey L Neprasova is a strong choice aboard. Follow the money. SILUTO (9) Finished 4th last run at this track. Looking for an improved run and will try to take advantage of the draw. Should race on the speed. Genuine winning chance. BOITDANSSONBLANC (1) Handy enough when winning last run at Wroclaw. Recent form of Grzegorz Witold Wroblewski is strong. Looks promising in this race. DARK DEFENCE (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at this track and will appreciate a good draw. Jockey L Matusky is an asset. Respect.

Jumped at $4.00 and below standard effort when 4th last time at this track but will benefit with the weight drop. Displays good tactical speed. Gab Agus rates highly aboard. Could be in the mix.
