MINOUCHE (5) Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Varese and will try to take advantage of the draw. In the mix. CAPE ALAVA (4) Ran 2nd last run at Livorno but dropping in distance. Recent form of the stable is strong. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. INVINCIBLE NAOMI (6) Sub-standard effort when 12th last run at Rome. Jockey Salvatore Sulas and trainer Pierguido Meniconi work well together. Not out of this. FREE NATION (1) First up after a break. Placed 3rd last time at Livorno. Has plenty of early speed. Jockey Gabriele Malune and trainer Pierantonio Convertino deserve respect as a team. Solid place bet prospects.

Fresh today. Ran well when 3rd last time at Livorno. Should race on the speed. Gabriele Malune and Pierantonio Convertino are an imposing duo. Should not be far away.

Solid effort when winning last time at Livorno and gets a favourable draw. Strong form this preparation winning 2 from as many attempts but back to a shorter trip. Good value.

Nice run when 2nd last run at Livorno but down in trip. Have to respect the recent Stefano Botti form. Gets a chance against these.
