Madrid Race 5

1m 3f Stakes

Prize Money: -

SWEET CAROLINE (3) Resuming after a spell. Below par when 6th last run at San Sebastian. Looking for an improved run and strong performer at the trip. Jockey S Donohoe rates highly. Will be there at the finish. DARKAVA (1) Nice run when 2nd last time at San Sebastian. Has plenty of early speed. R Sousa is a pivotal booking. Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Should go close. YUKATA ROSA (5) First up from a break of 12 weeks and nice run when 2nd first up last preparation at this track. Guillermo Arizkorreta stable are on fire recently. One at a bit of odds. ARZUA (6) Tidy run when 3rd last run at San Sebastian and gets a favourable draw. Have to respect the recent stable form. One of the chances.
