Nice to Ventimiglia to Pisa to Florence on Oct 3, 2014

We are planning to go from Nice to Florence on Oct 3 with a 3-4 hour stopover in Pisa (possibly enough to grab a quick bite and visit the tower). We'd like to get an early start to the day. There is a 5:25 am train from Nice Ville (our hotel is a 5 min walk away) that gets in to Ventimiglia at 6:13 am. The timetables at bahn.de shows a train from Ventimiglia at 6:33 am that reaches Pisa at 10:56 am (IC 505). However this result does not show up on trenitalia/raileurope. Not so much concerned about Pisa to Florence leg since there are hourly trains. Has anyone taken the 6:33 am train? Any idea where to book the tickets from? Should we just try our luck and show up at Ventimiglia and book it at the station?

The IC 505 is showing sold out for Oct 3. Look at taking a later train. BTW, The trenitalia site is working extraordinarily slow right now.
