Palermo Race 9

7F Stakes

Prize Money: $5,507

AL AGUA (1) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a two time winner and scored two back at this track before placing last time over 1400m at this track. Races well here and expected to go close. BLACK MATTERS (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at San Isidro, beaten 6 lengths. Must raise the bar but this is well within his grasp. FUERZATITAN (6) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at San Isidro, beaten 2.75 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. MAIPO FELIZ (3) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at La Plata, beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
