MASTER SPIRIT (6) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. OWENS (7) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten 4 lengths into third over 1600m at Palermo. Good chance to break through. GIALLO NERO (2) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at Palermo, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. SECURITY RYE (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
