Varese Race 5

1m Hcap

Prize Money: -

AMOUR DE CHAT (6) Clearly outclassed when 8th last time at Merano. Dario Di Tocco is a plus. Winnable race. LIGHT SPARK (7) Resuming. Towards the rear last start at Milano. Is capable of a resurgence. Right in this. HOT SUNSET (3) Brave effort to win narrowly last start at this track and drawn nicely. Likely to settle back in the field. Getting better in recent performances. Goes up in weight. Has scope so do not ignore. MELODY MAKER (4) Appeared lacklustre when 4th last start at Livorno and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Exotics chance.

Started $41.00 and subpar when 6th last start here and has to cope with a weight increase. Few more classier types in this race.

Jumped at $2.50 and not up to standard when 4th last time at Merano and will have to carry extra weight. Will be positive in the run early. One for the exotics players.

Fought on gamely when winning last start around here and gets a favourable draw. Might be ridden for luck. Showing improvement in recent outings. Has more weight to carry. Watch for a sign in the market.
