BLANC MENTEUR (7) finished sixth over 2300m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 6. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MAN WITH THE PLAN (4) is coming off a determined win last start over 1800m at Naples seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Will appreciate the big weight drop so he is expected to measure up again. LETHAL DOCK (5) last appeared two-and-a-half weeks ago over 2200m at Pisa when he finished fourth. This is his first run for the Endo Botti Galoppo Snc stable. Can measure up for the new barn. REDIMAGGIO (1) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 2200m contest at this track last time out by 1.5 lengths. One of the key chances.
