MAR DE HONOR (3) returned from a spell a month ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into fourth over 2000m at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Martin Javier Valle gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. POEMA LIRICO (4) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 2000m at Palermo last start. Well placed to make amends. SHUMPETER (6) finished 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Palermo two weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. HAPPY ETICO (5) was beaten 5 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 2000m contest at Palermo last time out. Well placed to make amends.
