PASQUINO (1) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1800m. Rates highly in this line up and can improve. NAVAJO SCOUT (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when eighth in a 1800m contest at this track three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. IL PALADINO ROSSO (8) finished third last time over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. QUOTAFISSA (3) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 2300m at this track. Top-three prospects.
