ARABIAN ROW (3) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1100m at this track. Looks the one to beat. EL PIANTAO (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1100m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LUCKY SHINE (2) is a six-start maiden who finished seventh, beaten 2.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Palermo. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. RICCIONE (7) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Best figures read very well.
