Palermo Race 2

5F Stakes

Prize Money: $9,363

MANI TUEF (8) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when second over 1000m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. METAL FORGE (1) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2 lengths over 1000m at La Plata. Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. INDIAN PALE (5) improved sharply on his seventh two starts back at San Isidro with a win as favourite over 1200m at San Isidro five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Worth noting Brian Rodrigo Enrique goes aboard. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. RISTRETTO (4) improved sharply last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.
