San Sebastian Race 1

1m Stakes

Prize Money: -

SHINE SUN (1) Nice run when 2nd last start at this track but has to carry more weight this time. J Gelabert and Gaston Rodriguez command respect as a pairing. Will take beating today. THE WISER (2) Honest race when 2nd last start here. Should come to hand quickly. This suits. BORN TO BRIGHT (3) Did well when 3rd last start around here but back in trip. Has very good closing speed. Going up in weight. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. AIMAR (5) Failed to threaten last start around here but can find a nice position from the draw. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Tricast hope.

Competitive effort when 2nd last start at this track but bit of extra work to do with more weight. Will go very close.
