MUCHO RESPECTO (2) is a five-start maiden who is close to a win following two recent minor placings, the latest when second over 1650m at Follonica. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. SALSA PICCANTE (1) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only sixth over 2300m at Rome. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. BABY DI RENACCIO (8) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1650m at Follonica four weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. VICKY ROMAN (7) finished 5 lengths away in eighth at her last appearance over 1700m at Milan on March 27. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
