San Isidro Race 7

Premio Garufa Mask 2025

Prize Money: $17,625

DON MACHETE (1) launched his career with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when second over 1600m at this track, beaten half a length. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. EL OCURRENTE (5) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when sixth over 1600m at this track. Martin Javier Valle gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Likely improver with strong prospects. NINO SAMURAI (2) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at Palermo, beaten 7 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SOY DEL COLOSO (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently beaten 2 lengths into third over 1600m at this track. Likely to be about the money again.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at this track January 10 over 1600m defeating Soviet Boy with 56kg at $23.35. Second-up 2nd of 11 at this track on February 7 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Last Chance carrying 53kg at $9.85. Capable of a better showing. Respect.
