BURNING KISS (7) Bolted in when winning last time at this venue and gets some weight taken off. Must respect in this event. SOPRAN TUCANO (5) Nice run when 2nd last time at the track and drawn nicely. Very competitive this campaign. Will be around the mark at odds. CONTE ATTILIO (2) On a quick turnaround. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at this track and drawn the rails. Hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Solid place bet prospects. BLACK MAGMA (4) Back from a spell. Competitive effort when 3rd last run at Milano. One of the hopes.

Started at $11.00 and came in 4th last run at this venue. Dario Di Tocco is a key booking. Too much luck needed to come into contention.
