Merano Race 3

3m 1f Stakes

Prize Money: -

LALDANN (4) Has a good record first up. Was first to greet the judge when winning last start at the track. Has plenty of claims. MAZINGA (5) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at the track and racing over a longer distance. Looks to be value. GRAND DE THAIX (2) Disappointing outing when 5th last start at this track but returning to more ground. Has early speed and positions nicely. Gab Agus is a key booking. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . WHITE WOOD (8) First up and ran well when 3rd first up last preparation at Wroclaw. Veronika Lempochnerova stable are having a great run of late and stepping back up in distance. Chance in this field so include in exotics.

Started $5.50 and only fair when 5th last start at the track but will appreciate a good draw. Should race on the speed. Jockey Gab Agus rates highly aboard. Can measure up against these.
