PET MAT (6) on the synthetic for the first time. Lay-off. Kicked off the campaign with a nice second at this track over 1m, beaten 2.25 lengths. Plenty to like about his prospects. IL SICILIANO (8) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1m at this track (Turf) following a minor placing at this track (Turf) over 7½f the run prior. Likely to play a major role. When resuming over 1m at this track (turf), beaten 6 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be competitive. LIFE IS PRECIOUS (2) made late ground and finished third last time over 6½f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 5 lengths. Likely improver with solid claims.
