TAIKKY (10) returns after 13 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and happy to have him on top. FURIOSO SPRING (2) last appeared four weeks ago over 1200m at Palermo when he finished third. This is his first run for the Edgardo Patriarca stable. Expecting a bright start for the new mentor. BLACK BOSS (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1200m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. DR JULIO (5) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 1100m at Palermo. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Should give backers a sight.
