FASTIDIO DA CLODIA (3) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 2000m at Florence. Germano Marcelli who has four wins when partnering stays on. Bold showing expected. BOATOROMANO (2) finished fifth two runs back at Florence then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as favourite over 2000m at Florence. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. PLUTONIO DA CLODIA (5) didn't do a bad job to finish half a length away in second last start over 2000m at Florence. That followed a first-up win at Pisa. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to bounce back. BENIAMINO (1) scored last start at Florence to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
