Palermo Race 5

1M Stakes

Prize Money: $15,862

CONVERTIDO (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth over 1600m in stakes class at San Isidro. Likely improver who should be the one to beat this time. NIGHT CRAWLER (3) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by a nose over 1600m at San Isidro. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CORO DE ROJAS (5) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Earth God in Group 1 class at Palermo over 1600m. He reunites with William Pereyra, which is a proven winning combination. Fitter and poses a big threat. EMBLEMATICU (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at La Plata. Best efforts measure up so he is worth another chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 35-day let-up. Last start won by a 0.1 len at San Isidro November 1 over 1600m defeating Friends Are Friends carrying 56kg at $8.70. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at San Isidro September 27 over 1600m in heavy going defeating Thor Medina with 56kg at $3.50. Looks perfectly placed to score in this small field.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation second last of 10 at Palermo in G3 on September 13 over 1800m, 22 len behind Blue Caviar carrying 56kg at $21.40. When resuming last campaign 3rd in a small field at San Isidro on March 2 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Liberto with 55kg at $5.40. Worth keeping in mind.
