As suspected the German raiders were prominent in these races.

Firstly in the Premio Parioli (2000 Gns) Henk Grewe's See Hector defeated Peter Schiergen's Fire of the Sun with Il Grande Gatsby third.

Then in the Permio Regina Elena the locals got one back when Swipe Up won the EC Racing Stables from Nonna Ercolina and Atomisaque (Botti-Atzeni) and that runner's stablemate Amalaura fourth home.
