They look to roll along early with Mantua and I Am War leading the charge. AREZZO (8) resumes and is another decent hope for the Hayes stable. He was a comfortable Geelong Maiden winner on debut and was spelled after a 1.6L defeat at Sandown-Lakeside in a 64. He's jumped out well and has 3kg weight relief. He has plenty of scope for improvement. MANTUA (5) is in the premier stable and can fire off a solid effort at Sandown-Lakeside. He has more up his sleeve and is ready for his first attempt over 1200m. SANTASTICO (4) peaks off a 1.3L defeat this grade, track and trip. The rail should advantage and he has each way claims. SOTOMAYOR (10) is third-up and capable. A better effort is likely. The late market should tell the story with IL CUBO (7), who resumes for a new stable. Good enough at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Arezzo.
