1m 7f Stakes

Prize Money: -

TOPO CINESE (8) First up and fought on well to win a tight contest first up last preparation at Milano. A Pollioni adds value and gets a favourable draw. One of the top hopes. JAYCEE BEAU (7) Bold effort to win last start around here and stepping up in trip. Strong form this preparation winning 2 from as many starts. Capable of taking this out. ALTO GRADIMENTO (1) First up after 21 weeks and honest race when 2nd first up last preparation at Milano. Jockey J Bartos and trainer Matteo Bonetti have a solid working relationship. A win wouldn't surprise. IL GALLACCIO (5) Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Towards the rear last time at Milano but facing an increased distance. Gab Agus is a smart booking. One for the tricast in this race.

First up after 21 weeks and came in 2nd first up last preparation at Milano. Jockey J Bartos and trainer Matteo Bonetti link up well. Stepping up in distance. Genuine claims.

Odds of $29.00 and struggled when 5th last start at this track but rising in distance. Should muster plenty of early toe. Struggling this campaign. Will need to find a new peak.

Resuming after a 42 week break. Started $34.00 and mediocre display when 12th last time at Pisa but having second career run. Going up in distance. Won't find this easy.

First up after a break. Towards the tail last time at Milano but facing a rise in trip. Gab Agus rates highly aboard and has drawn to do little work. Outside chance.

First up from a spell of 30 weeks. Was $13.00 and performed below standard when 9th last run at Napoli but racing over a longer distance. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Nice effort when winning last start at the track and going over more ground. Flying this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
