HOLD THE BOY (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Palermo last time, getting there by 5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is likely to feature in the finish again. THITON (7) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at this track with today's rider Cesar Agustin Romagnoli engaged. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. SANTO SERMON (2) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at this track over 2000m when first-up last time in work. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. SIMT (1) finished a 6 length fifth when resuming on a dirt track at Palermo over 1400m then followed up with a solid second on turf at this track over 1600m. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and three minor placings from six runs. Solid claims on best form.
