Florence Race 1

7 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

LAST SHAMARDAL (3) Back from a break. Narrowly clinched the victory last run at Milano. Jockey F Branca and trainer Stefano Botti have shared plenty of success together. Goes very close. MY ETERNAL LOVE (4) First run back after break. Towards the tail last time at Milano. Expecting improvement here. Dario Di Tocco rates highly. Worth consideration. WANT AND POWER (6) Fresh after a spell. Failed to threaten last time at Milano. Looking past the last run and drawn well. Could be a value selection. TIGRR (5) Displayed potential when winning last run at Livorno. Maikol Arras and Stefano Botti link well together. Should race on the speed. Showing positive results since returning from a spell. One of the major players.

First up and competitive effort when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Have to respect the recent Stefano Botti form. Likely to get back in the run. Hard to have.

Back from a break. Really dug deep when winning last run at Milano. Jockey F Branca and trainer Stefano Botti are a pair that can't be ignored. Solid chance.

Solid effort when winning last run at Livorno. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Maikol Arras and Stefano Botti are highly regarded when paired. Significant value and can go close.
