Pisa Race 4

6f Hcap

Prize Money: -

PORTNOY (3) Back after a spell of 26 weeks. Ran well when 3rd last start at Florence. Worth strong consideration. SAKURA SPIRIT (2) Finished 6th last time at Florence. Giving another chance here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Recent form of the stable is strong. Must respect. KING OF THE WAVES (9) First up and put the head down when winning first up last preparation at Florence. Should go close. THAT'S NO JOKE (6) Finished 4th last time at Florence. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Looks to be value.

Odds of $51.00 and underwhelming when 7th last start at Florence. Have to look elsewhere.
