Varese Race 1 - 7 1/2f Stakes
PERSIAN DAKOTA (5) 2yo by Persian Force having first race appearance for Antonio Marcialis. Jockey Ga Sanna is an asset. Follow the money. PUNTA CANA (7) Finished 3rd last time around here and back over extra ground. Ivan Rossi and Grizzetti Galoppo demand respect when they team up. Promising career start. Strong chance. WHITE FIR (8) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this venue and having second career run. Dario Di Tocco is a strong choice aboard. Can go on with it. ER PUMA (3) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Merano and showing consistent performance in races. Dario Vargiu and Grizzetti Galoppo are usually competitive together. Has a good draw. Has claims.

On a quick turnaround. At $101.00 lacklustre showing when 8th last start at this track but was on debut last time. Prefer in something easier.

On a quick back up. Was $67.00 and sub-standard effort when 7th last run at the track but fitter for debut run. Lines up against a competitive field.

Tidy effort when 3rd last start at Merano and has a positive draw. Jockey Dario Vargiu and trainer Grizzetti Galoppo deserve respect as a team. Capable of winning this.

Started at $2.62 and not competitive when 4th last run at this track. Have to respect the recent Grizzetti Galoppo form. Will not be far away.

2yo first starter sired by Persian Force for Antonio Marcialis. Ga Sanna is a bonus. Watch the betting.

Was a comprehensive winner last run here and has drawn to do little work. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Ran 3rd last time at this venue and coming back up in distance. Jockey Ivan Rossi and trainer Grizzetti Galoppo have shared plenty of success together. Solid career start. Can win.

Was competitive when 2nd last run at this track and was a debutant last start. Good to see jockey Dario Di Tocco is jumping on. Definite contender.
