STARLIT SPICE (1) Got the prize when winning last run at Merano but rises in weight. Has run into the money multiple times this campaign. Is in good order and can run well. CIUDAD JUAREZ (3) Racing fresh today after a break. Towards the rear last start at Milano. Expecting improvement here and strong performer at this distance in the past. Has drawn the rails. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. PRIDE AND GLORY (4) Ran well when 2nd last time at Livorno. Could run a place. MEDIA (2) Placed 2nd last start at this track and gets a favourable draw. Stefano Botti stable are having a great run of late. Can finish in the money.

Good win last run at Merano but has to carry more weight this time. Stefano Botti stable are running hot lately. In the placings frequently this preparation. Entitled to be respected in betting.

Nice run when 2nd last start here and has a positive draw. Recent form of Stefano Botti is strong. This won't be easy.

Back from a break. Towards the tail last start at Milano. Expecting improvement here and have to respect the form at the distance. Drawn beautifully. One for the value hunters.

On a short turnaround. Looked good when 2nd last run at this venue and dropping weight. This looks a tough assignment.
