Naples Race 3

6f Hcap

Stake: -

CAPE ALAVA (4) Unsighted last start at Florence. Giving another go here and drawn nicely. Top prospects against this opposition. GALASSIA (5) Moderate showing when 8th last time at this venue. Has the ability to turn things around and will benefit with the weight drop. No shock to see a win. KING OF THE WAVES (2) Did well when 2nd last start at Florence. Include in chances. AMIR (3) Not up to scratch when 6th last run around here. Giuseppe Ercegovic has been successful aboard previously. Could run into the placings.

Odds of $7.50 and was ordinary when 6th last run at this venue. Jockey Giuseppe Ercegovic is very comfortable steering. Very unlikely to cause an upset.

Was $5.00 and subpar when 8th last time at this track. Has the ability to turn things around and suited by the weight drop. Worth a lot of thought in this race.
