Palermo Race 8

1M Stakes

Prize Money: $10,575

HALE BOPP (4) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1600m at this track last time. Has a solid record here over this journey. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. SOS PIOLA KEY (2) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1400m at this track. Stick with him on an each-way basis. GATO MOLINA (1) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1400m at La Plata. Needs to be at his best to beat this field, but he can win if he puts his best hoof forward. QATAR CHAMPION (3) is back from a spell of four months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this circuit. Worth considering.
