IL FACCIA (3) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten half a length. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. DON LABRADOR (9) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into sixth over 1400m at Palermo. Finds a suitable race and can find winning form. BASEMENT BOY (1) got the cash over 1600m at this track at his most recent appearance on November 26. Among the better hopes. PACTO DE SANGRE (4) turned in another moderate effort last start when seventh over 1400m at Palermo. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
