San Sebastian Race 2

1m 3f Stakes

Prize Money: -

BULNES (3) Competitive effort when 3rd last run at Madrid and will appreciate the drop in weight. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Vaclav Janacek has been successful previously. Winning hope. MASTER CATH (6) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Lyon Parilly. R Sousa is a key engagement. Does take a while to get into stride. Will be around the mark at odds. VELERIN (8) Was first to greet the judge when winning last run at the track and carrying less weight this time. J Gelabert and G Arizkorreta command respect as a team. One of the major players. PHILAU (7) Not competitive when 4th last time around here but gets a favourable draw. Recent form of G Arizkorreta is strong. Will be competitive.

At $29.00 average effort when 8th last run at Madrid. Should muster plenty of early speed. Prefer in an easier race.

Honest race when 3rd last run at Madrid and goes down in weight. Won't be far away during the run. Vaclav Janacek has been successful aboard previously. Strong chance.

Odds of $41.00 and performed below standard when 9th last time at Madrid but have to respect the form at this trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early. This field likely to be too good.

Jumped at $3.75 and ran 5th last run at Madrid but suited by the weight drop. Should jump out and bowl along. One for your tricast.

Looked good when 3rd last time at Lyon Parilly. R Sousa is a pivotal booking. Likely to get back in the run. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
