Palermo Race 1

6F Stakes

Prize Money: $9,368

BEQUEPINGO (4) was resuming from a spell of seven months last start when a solid third over this course and distance. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. MONTECU (9) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back, then got the job done by a nose as public elect last time out over 1400m at this track. Taking on a better field, but he is worth serious consideration. FULL NOSTALGIOSO (5) finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten a nose. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and four minor placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. EL FUTURO (2) won at this track and distance at his last outing 12 weeks ago, the only appearance of that campaign. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Can feature in the finish.

At the latest run second last of 7 at this track on April 14 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind El Negro Luis carrying 54kg at $19.10. The start before that 4th of 8 at this track on February 24 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Basko Texano with 55kg at $11.65. Needs plenty of luck to trouble the top few.

Racing well. Comes off a 48 day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at San Isidro on March 14 over 1200m, nose behind Wild Devil with 57kg at $6.40. The run before that won by 0.5 len at San Isidro February 26 over 1400m defeating Quiara with 55kg at $3.40. Worth thought after getting close last time.
