BLACK LADDER (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 12 lengths when ninth over 1200m at Rome six weeks ago. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. AUTRE ETAPE (1) was a gutsy winner last time over 1600m at this track, scoring by half a length to make it two wins in succession. Has a formidable combination with Alessio Satta who has been aboard for his last two wins. Sure to play a big role. BLACK LASER (3) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when seventh over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MAN IN PROMISE (7) finished second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten half a length. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
