Positano (3) has been working (ridden by Shreyas) consistently “freely / stretched out well” at 1400–1600m with no urging, which suggests the horse is being under-shown in public track reports. The timings are good without pressure (1.41–1.52 at 1400–1600m with relaxed 600 splits), meaning the real burst has been deliberately hidden.

 

In staying terms, that’s a serious positive because for 2400m what matters is conserving energy, relaxing, and producing the final 600m surge. Duke of Tuscany is the obvious rival, but has already shown his cards. If Positano’s true ability is being reserved, he’s primed for the right day and this Trophy race is exactly when trainers spring their best.

 

In the real race, SANDESH on top is valuable. I GUESS TRAINER AND OWNER ALSO BETTING ON POSITANO (WIN & BIG PLACE) THIS TIME, SO THEY ARE HIDING THE ACTUAL BURST IN TRACK. HAHA LET’S SEE. POSITANO LOOKS A SERIOUS CONTENDER AND THIS TROPHY RACE COULD BE HIS DAY.

Positano (58 kg, R109)

On the right mark. Slightly better in than Duke, as he carries 1 kg less with same rating. Well balanced in the scale.

Golden Thunder (57 kg, R116)

Well-in at the weights. With the highest rating but compressed handicap, he effectively carries 2–3 kg less than he should. Clear advantage.

If Trevor, A Raj, AK47,or Sandesh rides TIEPOLO, it's bound to win. Horse is prepared nicely.
