Palermo Race 8

7F Stakes

Prize Money: $23,517

ELENIKA (2) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1600m at San Isidro. Has an imposing record of six wins from 11 starts. Has the right credentials and is the one to beat for us. STORMY SUMMER (5) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1400m in stakes class at this track last start to make it three straight. Same scenario as the last success, and she can repeat the dose. CAUSEWAY GIRL (4) scored last start at San Isidro to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims on her best figures. INTRUSION (6) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Definite each-way claims in an even field.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; favourite; won by a 0.1 len at Palermo October 19 over 1200m defeating Emisora Mundial carrying 56kg at $2.35. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.
