1m 3f Stakes

VELERIN (7) Ran 4th last time at this track. Has the potential to improve sharply. G Arizkorreta stable are running hot lately. Underrated. LOSE YOUR WAD (3) Racing fresh today after a break. Chimed in with a win last time at the track. Genuine winning chance. THUNDERING (4) Shot clear to win last time at Madrid. Looks very sharp this preparation with 2 wins from 2 starts. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PHILAU (5) Below expectations when 6th last start here. G Arizkorreta stable are on a hot streak. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Has claims.

Not up to scratch when 5th last time at Madrid but drawn nicely. Stable is in form. Unlikely to go close.

Tidy run when 3rd last start here and proven runner at this distance. Will be positive in the run early. Drawn beautifully. Will have to carry extra weight. Keep safe for your exotics.
