2m 3f Stakes

Prize Money: -

SOPRAN MENEGHINO (1) Won by a big margin last start around here. A Pollioni is a pivotal booking. Capable of taking this out. URUGANO (2) Good win last time at this venue and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Been in the money frequently this preparation. Won't be far away. MAZINGA (3) Ran 4th last start at the track. Looking for an improved run. L Neprasova rates highly. Can make a claim. SAINT PATRICE (5) Tidy effort when 3rd last run around here and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Worth an each way bet in this.

Put a gap on the rest when winning last start around here. Good to see jockey A Pollioni is jumping on. Should go close.

Started at $4.33 and came in 4th last start around here. Looking for an improved run. L Neprasova is a crucial engagement. One of the punters top hopes.

Started $9.50 and finished 5th last run at this venue. Should jump out and bowl along. Gab Agus is a strong choice aboard. Others make far more appeal.

First up after a break. Jumped at $10.00 and disappointing display when 7th last time at this track. Pavel Tuma has been training plenty of winners recently. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Resuming after spell. At $17.00 below expectations when 4th last time at this venue but fitter for debut run. Difficult to warm to at present.
