Palermo Race 7

7 1/2F Stakes

Prize Money: $50,670

LIBERTO (2) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths third over 1400m at San Isidro. Among the top chances in a very handy field. MONTEAGRELO (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at San Isidro. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed, and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. ALADO FRANK (6) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third in Group 2 grade at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Strong claims on best figures. VLADIMIR (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at Group 2 level at this track over 1200m. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be ruled out.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at San Isidro in the G2 Raul y Raul E. Chevallier on April 4 over 1400m, 4.5 len behind Drive Joy with 55kg at $5.45. The race before that came from midfield and won by 11 len at San Isidro March 2 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Monteagrelo with 55kg at $2.40. Major player on recent form.

At debut, 3rd of 9 at this track on March 1 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Dia De Honor carrying 55kg at $5.40. Good effort on debut but this looks a stern test.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 2nd in a small field at San Isidro on March 2 over 1200m, in the wet; 11 len behind Liberto carrying 55kg at $6.15. Last start won by 0.5 len at San Isidro April 4 over 1400m defeating Winston carrying 55kg at $8.90. Going well enough to take this out.

Comes off a 61 day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track in G2 on March 1 over 1200m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind The Great Cash carrying 55kg at $7.50. The run before that second last in a small field at this track in G3 on February 2 over 1000m, 8 len behind Fantasioso Pass with 55kg at $3.55. Good job last start and has top-three aspirations.
