Madrid Race 2

7 1/2f Stakes

Prize Money: -

MAXIMUM SCEPTICISM (2) Fought on well to win a tight contest last time at San Sebastian and has minimal work to do from the draw. J Gelabert has been successful aboard previously. No surprise to see a win. GUADALMINA (6) First up today. Was competitive when 2nd last run here and showing consistent performance in races. Appears well in this. SKY RIM (3) First up and nice run when 2nd first up last preparation here. S Donohoe is a pivotal booking and good career start. Must respect. LIMERENCIA (7) Resuming after a spell. Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last start at the track and putting a tidy record together so far. Looks a great place bet.

Snagged a narrow win last time at San Sebastian and will appreciate a good draw. Added confidence with J Gelabert doing the steering. Will be trying to topple them late. Will show up at the business end.

First up and was competitive when 2nd first up last preparation around here. Jockey S Donohoe is a bonus and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Serious contender.

Was $6.00 and mediocre display when 6th last run here but can find a nice position from the draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Prefer in something weaker.
