MAPONUS (1) Nice effort when winning last run around here and showing improvement in recent outings. Jockey Ga Sanna rates highly aboard. Has been a model of consistency this campaign. Definite claims. BURNING KISS (4) Resuming after a break. Failed to threaten last run at Milano. Looking for an improved run and can find a nice position from the draw. Down in distance. A win wouldn't surprise. BUNNY BOBO (7) Racing fresh after a break. Towards the tail last run at Milano. Expected to rebound and gets a favourable draw. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. TUTU STAR (3) Came in 7th last start at Livorno. Overlooking the last run. F Branca and Stefano Botti make a formidable team. Can feature.

Scored a victory last run at this venue and getting better in recent performances. Racing consistently this preparation. Ga Sanna is a key booking. Can measure up against these.

Towards the rear last time at Milano. Jockey Dario Vargiu and trainer Antonio Domenico Migheli deserve serious attention. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. This one has a big task.

Odds of $3.50 and finished 7th last start at Livorno. Overlooking the last run. F Branca and Stefano Botti have achieved a lot of success as a team. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

Fresh today. Towards the rear last run at Milano. Looking for an improved run and will try to take advantage of the draw. Will be dropping in distance. Good chance and definitely has claims.
