German raider Axxos (Monsun) scored a minor upset this afternoon at San Siro, taking the 2000m (1¼m) G.3 Premio Ambrosiano ahead of local hope Golden Titus (Titus Livius).

In a race with no pace Axxos soon took the lead and set a gap of three lengths from Golden Titus, runner-up to Linngari in the G.1 Premio Vittorio di Capua at the end of last year. Davidoff (Montjeu) and Selmis (Selkirk) followed in behind with Elleno (Celtic Swing) and Subitodopo (Fraam) holding the fort.

With a half-mile left to run Selmis took closer order on the outside of Axxos as Golden Titus found room towards his inner.

Two furlongs out Selmis was the first to go but Terry Hellier on Axxos maintained the lead. Dario Vargiu wound up Golden Titus who accelerated nicely but once he came alongside Axxos, Peter Schiergen’s G.1 Grand Prix de Paris second rallied well and extended in the final strides to win by a half-length.

Selmis never featured in the finish and was three lengths back in third with Subitodopo a further ¾ length away in fourth.
