THE BEST OF ME (1) Tidy run when 2nd last time at this venue. Maikol Arras and Stefano Botti have a high strike rate together. Can go on with it. WANZHOU (4) Was competitive when 3rd last run at Livorno but will be dropping in distance. Davide Cirocca and Anna Maoddi are usually competitive when they team up. Can take this out. RAZIO (8) Gave them a lesson when winning last run here and proven runner at this distance. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. DOCTOR STRANGE (2) Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Livorno but going up in weight. Watch market moves.

Did well when 3rd last run at Livorno but dropping back to a shorter trip. Davide Cirocca and Anna Maoddi deserve serious consideration as a team. Good prospects.

At $9.50 came in 5th last run here but gets a favourable draw. Have to respect the recent stable form but down in distance. Won't find this easy.

Resuming after a break. Towards the tail last start at Milano but has drawn to do little work. Solid career start. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.
