FARAMOND (6) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1600m at Palermo. Nicely placed and expected to go well. PRECIOUS MACHINE (9) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 7 lengths when fifth over 1600m at this track. Among the leading chances with the run under his belt. DON AUGE (3) stepped out for his debut over 1600m at this track back on July 21 and finished tenth, beaten 15 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. SENOR GATO (8) finished 7 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1600m at this track on March 30. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
