Loadstar tried on Dirt last time but it didn’t work so he is back on Turf surface this time. He was the 2nd favorite, because he looked superb in the Parade Ring.
Loadstar jumped off fine and got a handy position just behind the leader on rail. He was traveling comfortably thoughtout the race, even a few horses made move on the backstretch and the pace got faster. The Jockey did well to keep his pace and sat quietly on the rail.
In the homestraight he quickened up nicely and won the race.
Loadstar was training superb and the Jockey rode the horse well. The pair should get credit for this win.

Sardona was the favorite for this race again.
She jumped off well but let the other horses go to the front. She sat in mid position on rail.
She travelled good coming around the final bend. But there was a wall of horses in front of her. So she was brought to the middle of the track from the rail, then started chasing the front but it was too late. She finished 3rd.
It was unlucky but the horse showed good speed last 100m.

Fontana Liri was the 2nd favourite for this race. She had over 6 months off and freshened up.
She jumped off well but let the other horses go front. It seemed settled in 5th position going into the first turn. But there was a gap on inside rail so the Jockey Mirco Demuro guided her to the inside and chasing the front. She traveled well in the front group in between the horses.
She looked got beaten in the straight but she did flight back to got up to the front coming through the inside rail. She won by a neck in the end.
Fontana Liri proved that she was a different class of horse here today.

Savvy was fit and ready to go for this newcomers race. He was the 4th choice in the betting, even the connections had some confidence in him.
Savvy jumped off the gate fine and got into his stride quick. He settled in 2nd position, looking at the front runner inside of him, travelling well. He was on bridle coming out the final bend. He easily passed the front runner and got up in front 1 furlong out. He just held from 2 horses got close before the line. He won by short head.
He proved us that he has good speed and good attitude, which he had shown at home.
