HOLY DAY (6) Did well when 2nd last start at the track but will be down in distance. M Mammano Lupo is a suitable booking. Live winning chance. HOT SUNSET (2) Mediocre attempt when 4th last run at Varese. Is capable of a resurgence and can find a nice position from the draw. D Cherio takes the reins today. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PADRE DANIELE (3) Below par when 6th last start at Varese. Goes very close. DRAG LIFT (1) Disappointing display when 8th last start here. Won't be far away during the run. Jockey J Zanchi is an asset. Looks to be value.

Started $17.00 and only fair when 8th last start at the track. Expecting to settle positively. Jockey J Zanchi is highly regarded. Good chance of taking this out.

Was $5.50 and not competitive when 4th last run at Varese. Is capable of a resurgence and gets a favourable draw. D Cherio rates highly aboard. Major player who should go very close.

At $101.00 average performance when 6th last start here and down in trip. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Can't suggest backing.
