5 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $8,812

EMPARDE (6) returned from a break of two months and finished second over this course and distance last time out. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. JAZZ SONG (4) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1000m at this track, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. ROMAN CALI (8) was out of the money two runs back then, again missed the frame last start over 1200m at San Isidro, finishing seventh. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. ACIREALE (1) finished third last time over 1000m at San Isidro, beaten 6 lengths. Faces an easier assignment, so he can take this out.
