Galop festival at Agnano. Latest Seul, Quality Son, Ekin to star

Whoever has decided to spend Sunday afternoon at the Naples hippodrome will have nothing to regret. The Neapolitan organization that runs the centre has put on a gallop schedule worth waiting for. Eight races, each one more fascinating than the one before it: S.Gennaro Prize, Agnano Prize and Ruffo della Scaletta Prize.10 will be in the starting boxes for the off in the 1800 metre handicap dedicated to the patron saint of the southern city. Dell’Olmo’s two representatives, Latest Seul under the guidance of Germano Marcelli and Jet Set Woman ridden for the first time by Carletto Fiocchi, may well work in tandem. Mon Crown certainly poses a threat as a surprise due to its ability to perform when underfoot conditions are heavy, exactly what is expected after this weekend’s heavy rain. Following on is the Agnano Prize, for four year olds, over 2000 metres. Of the 15 runners, Quality Son, student of Bietolini, who Sebastiano Guerrieri has brought up from Siracusa, is favourite. Otello Azzy with Samuele Diana could be enemy number one for Quality Son, while the surprise could arrive from Bella de Zio ridden by Marco Monteriso. The third gem is the 1000 metres of the Guido Ruffo della Scaletta Prize. Expect a tough battle between Ekin and Xenes, with a Kamal il Guerriero, if on form capable of beating both. Keep an eye on Attenzione a Golden Joker with Marcelli on the saddle, who rode magnificently at Capannelle.
