DON CARLO (4) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent effort a second at this track over 2000m when he was beaten half a length. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. EMPEROSE (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Follonica but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 41 lengths over 1650m at Follonica. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ALMA HERA (2) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when seventh, beaten 6 lengths, at this track over 2200m. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. VIENROSE (7) produced another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in seventh over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
