Palermo Race 8

1M 2F Stakes

Prize Money: $16,743

TARSICO SAM (1) is an eight-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at La Plata over 2000m last time out. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SUWALKI GAP (7) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 1600m at Palermo Turf, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Well placed, and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PLATONIC LOVE (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back, then was ninth in a 1600m contest at San Isidro four weeks ago. Tackling a deeper field this time, but he is up to the task. MR EDWARD (6) is back after a break of eight months. At the last run before the layoff he finished well back over 1400m at San Isidro. Top 4 claims in this field. HURACAN ROJINEGRO (2) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on August 10, finishing fourth over 1800m at this track. Comes here with definite top-three claims. Watch for him late.
