Merano Race 1 - 7 1/2f Stakes
BRAO FESS (1) Stefano Botti trained 2yo by Sergei Prokofiev having first start. Keep your eye on the market. VELOCEMENTE (5) First up. Looked good when 2nd last start at Milano and was a debutant last start. Dario Vargiu and Grizzetti Galoppo work well together. Stepping up in distance. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. DIN DON (3) Came in 4th last time at Napoli. Happy to forgive that run and good career start. Jockey Maikol Arras and trainer Stefano Botti form a formidable team. Has claims. COASTKES (2) Towards the rear last run at Milano. Should improve from the last run and fitter for debut run. Has a good draw. Winning hope.

Failed to threaten last run at Milano. Should improve from the last run and was on debut last time. Can find a nice position from the draw. Will not be far away.

Was $15.00 and finished 4th last time at Napoli. Happy to forgive that run and putting a tidy record together. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Resuming after a spell. Ran well when 2nd last start at Milano and having second career run. Dario Vargiu and Grizzetti Galoppo are a combination worth noting. Expected to be competitive.

Unsighted last run at Milano but having second race start. Salvatore Sulas and Grizzetti Galoppo are usually competitive when they team up. Will be around the mark at good odds.
