POLISH SHOOTER (2) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 1300m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THALIA (8) opened this prep last start with a second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Will prove tough to beat. RUBIA SUGESTIVA (11) was resuming from a spell of four months last start when a solid second over this course and distance. Among the winning hopes. PURA ALMA (4) finished third last start over 1200m at Palermo, beaten 4 lengths. Has the class to take this out.
