Palermo Race 1

1M 2F Stakes

Prize Money: $13,659

TRAVEL PASS (4) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 2500m in stakes class at this track. Should be hard to stop. POEMA LIRICO (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 2000m at La Plata with today's rider Borda Gonzalo Damian engaged. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give a great sight. CELEBRATE HAT (6) ran below expectations last time at San Isidro, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths starting at $4.70. Finds a nice race and can atone. HAPPY RUNNER (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 5 lengths over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.

Third-up today. Not raced for 51 days. Resuming scored a big 7 len win at this track November 24 over 1600m defeating Emm Day with 57kg at $2.75. Second run from a spell 2nd of 8 at this track on December 19 over 2000m, 6 len behind Private Blend with 57kg at $5.65. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.
