FREE WOMAN (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1600m at this track, finishing second and beaten one length. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. POETA MALEDETTO (11) made progress last time out, finishing 11 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2300m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. BLUKEY (10) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1200m at Florence, beaten 9 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. GENGIS IL GRANDE (1) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1600m, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. This is his optimum trip with two wins from four starts and is among the main hopes.
