Varese Race 2

1m 1 1/2f Hcap

Prize Money: -

PIZZED (5) Not in contention when 5th last time at this venue but solid career start. S Valenzasca is a smart booking. Strong chance. CRACKFIRE (1) Backing up quickly for this race. Disappointing display when 4th last time here but going back up in distance. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SLOWMOTION (2) In the money when 2nd last run at Merano and drawn nicely. Well placed and has solid claims. ACQUA DI SALE (4) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at this track. Very strong each way claims.

Racing on a quick back up. Odds of $7.50 and performed below standard when 4th last time here but back to an increased distance. Good potential.

Jumped at $8.00 and struggled when 5th last time around here but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Jockey S Valenzasca rates highly. Definite claims.

On a short back up. Odds of $101.00 and just average when 6th last run at this venue but returning to an increased distance. Gets the perfect draw. Form will be tested here.
