Merano Race 1

2m 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

GRAY CHANCE (3) Ran well when 3rd last start at this venue. A Pollioni is a plus. Capable of taking this out. UN BESO (2) Finished 4th last start here. Expected to rebound and can find a nice position from the draw. L Neprasova is a strong choice aboard. Suitably placed in this race. ETHIOPIAN SISTER (1) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this track. Likely threat. ICARE DE SARTUQUE (4) Disappointing effort when 5th last start at this track. Jockey Gab Agus rates highly. Can threaten if right today.
