Palermo Race 7

1M Stakes

Prize Money: $19,299

COMANDO SECRETO (2) turned in a sound effort first-up on dirt when third over 1800m at this track. Came on from the run and scored on turf over 1600m on the turf course here last time. Adrian Maximiliano Giannetti stays on. Likely to feature. DON ZAHIR (3) scored two runs back then, was well in commission last time, but could only manage to finish fifth over the same trip in the G3 Buenos Aires on the turf course here. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. EL ESTIMADO (5) scored by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Hard to knock form on this course, having never missed the frame, including three wins and one placing. Sure to be competitive. INDICADO (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at San Isidro two starts back, then got the job done by half a length last time out over 1600m at San Isidro. Well placed, and there is no reason he cannot score again.
