TDN Analysis: Taany is back to defend her Italian St Leger title after winning this by 10 lengths in 2024. The Luciano Vitabile trainee has landed a pair of Group 3 races at San Siro this season, and Saturday's contest is her first back at this 3000-metre trip since her victory last year. Marcel Weiss will saddle Lordano, who is fresh off a victory over this trip in the G3 Silbernes Pferd at Cologne earlier this month. Oberer is a listed winner in Italy and, after a second-place effort in the Listed Premio Roma Vecchia, received the ultimate equipment change. The new gelding will leave from stall four.
