In the second elim the 2.5/1 odds Eleonor di Poggio (3f Trixton-Upland Kronos-Joke Face) scored from post three using front-end tactics engineered by driver G.P. Minnucci. She prevailed by a nose in a three horse photo defeating 10.9/1 Emily LP (3f Maharajah-Giorgia LP-Pine Chip) reined by Guzzinati and 10.7/1 Elodi’ Mabel (3f Nad Al Sheba-Margie Prav) with Antonio Di Nardo driving. Race time was 1.13.2kr. Well regarded Erica Jet was seventh at 4.8/1 and Esperia Font finished eighth at 7.3/1.
