ATOMIC JOHN (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 2000m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DON NASARENO (3) finished sixth over 1800m at Listed level at Palermo at his most recent appearance on October 19 2025. Has found the right race. IRAQI (5) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 5 lengths win over 1600m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. GIALLO NERO (4) is progressing well this preparation, landing the prize by 0.1 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
