4 Florenza
F: 4B(9)W(55.5)

Next Best
7 Venetian
F: 5B(9)W(55.5)
( J-Warren Kennedy )

2 1/2 lengths behind Para Para on debut so a bit to make up there. But was well back then and strong trainer/jockey combo
Consider

( J-Warren Kennedy )

Last two runs, both on this course, have ben very good. Coincidentally they are its only runs at middle distance and so can go on with it and go close today. Rails draw and Warren Kennedy is reunited

7 La Parisienne
F: 7x495B(9)W(56.5)
