Florence Race 2 - 1m 2f Stakes
EXCITING BRAVE (4) Racing fresh after a break. Finished 2nd last time at Milano and showing consistent performance in races. Appears well in this. LETHAL BAZZ (5) Fairly underwhelming when 4th last run at Merano. Can show a better performance this time. Dario Di Tocco adds value. Looks well suited in this race. CARRY SECRETS (1) Underwhelming when 5th last start at Varese and will have to carry extra weight. Stefano Botti stable are in good form of late. Can measure up to this company. EAGLE STAR (2) Brave effort to win narrowly last start at Livorno and drawn well. Respect against this field.

Started at $17.00 and appeared lacklustre when 5th last start at Varese and rises in weight. Recent form of Stefano Botti is strong. Definite contender.

Really dug deep when winning last start at Livorno and gets a favourable draw. Strong claims in this.

Resumes from a spell. Unsighted last time at this venue but was on debut last time. Going up in distance. Not dismissing.

First up from a break. Nice run when 2nd last time at Milano and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Started $3.75 and below standard effort when 4th last run at Merano. Can show a better performance this time. Dario Di Tocco is a bonus. Should go well.

At $81.00 sub-standard effort when 12th last start at Livorno but was a debutant last start. Stefano Mariotti has been training plenty of winners recently. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.

Started $101.00 and ran 6th last start at Livorno but will try to take advantage of the draw. Needs to find a lot more.
