MERANO ALLOWANCE

Purse $19,085. TB A small but interesting field. German raider DACANT (2), representing Gestuet Roettgen, gets the vote after making a big impression on debut. MOONLIGHT KNIGHT (3) drops in grade and remains firmly in the picture. TOTO TRUFFA (4) shaped very well on the sand but now meets a couple of rivals with stronger credentials. 1M

MERANO MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT

Purse $15,268. TB A maiden over this trip in which GHAIYYATH DEER (3) is an intriguing proposition despite returning from a break and making his Italian debut. His British rating commands respect in a field lacking any standout credentials. FAVONIO (2) and stablemate WINNING DREAM (8) have shown enough to make the frame, while German raider SCHILDMAID (6), a daughter of Japan, failed to shine on debut but warrants maximum respect in this company. 1 3/8M

MERANO

Purse $83,976. TB A high-quality and fascinating renewal of the Premio Terme di Merano, a Listed contest for fillies and mares over this trip. STARLIGHT LIPS (7), trained by Andreas Suborics, gets the vote. She is a filly of undoubted quality who finished fourth in the German Oaks and has been working her way back into form, finishing fifth in a Group 3 over a mile, a trip clearly on the sharp side for her. LADA (2) is the second choice and returns directly from the Mezzanotte, where she finished runner-up at San Siro. Of the others, MINEOLA (3) is still relatively inexperienced and may have further improvement to come, while WINTERSONNE (9) is well regarded, although there is a question mark over the trip. 1 3/8M
