STARLIT SPICE (5) Tidy effort when 2nd last start at Florence and dropping weight. In good racing form since returning from a spell. Can win this. WHISPERWOOD (1) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Pisa but rising in weight. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Should go close. DREAM SICILY (3) Looked good when 2nd last time at this venue and carrying less weight this time. Among better hopes. SAXON RAY (6) First up after 28 weeks and really dug deep when winning first up last preparation at Milano. Gains the services of jockey Dario Di Tocco and promising career start. Has scope so do not ignore.

Started at $19.00 and mediocre performance when 8th last run around here but gets a favourable draw. Likely to settle back in the field. Won't find this easy.

First up after 28 weeks and got the upper hand late when winning first up last preparation at Milano. Good to see jockey Dario Di Tocco is jumping on. One for the value hunters.
