KOMEL (4) Ran well when 2nd last run at this venue and showing improvement in recent outings. Jockey Dario Di Tocco rates highly and gets a reduction in weight. Fights on bravely so consider. BEAUTIFUL DRAGO (3) Looked flat when 5th last time at Corridonia. Is capable of a resurgence. Worth a bet. TAURO'S WAY (1) Racing fresh today after a break. Secured a close victory last time at Florence and has a positive draw. Displaying improvement over the past few runs. No shock to see a win. YUNESS (2) First run back from a break. Failed to threaten last time at Florence. Expecting improvement here. Place hopes amongst this field.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Game effort to win narrowly last time at Florence and will try to take advantage of the draw. Will show up at the business end.

Started $3.50 and uncompetitive when 5th last time at Corridonia. Is capable of a resurgence. Strong chance to be considered.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Jockey Dario Di Tocco is an asset and dropping weight. Should go close.
