Madrid Race 5

1M Stakes

Prize Money: -

MAXIMUM SCEPTICISM (3) Tidy run when 2nd last time at the track and can find a nice position from the draw. J Gelabert is a key booking. Should jump out and bowl along. Should go well. SKY RIM (5) Sub-standard effort when 10th last run around here. Capable of bouncing back and promising career start. Jockey R Sousa is in form. Sure to be thereabouts. JUAN DE AUSTRIA (1) Finished 8th last time here. Capable of bouncing back and has drawn to do little work. Solid place bet prospects. ZODIACO (6) Ran 7th last run at the track. Should improve from the last run. Include in chances.

Came in 8th last time at this track. Capable of bouncing back and can save some energy from the stall. Contender at a nice price.

Jumped at $67.00 and moderate showing when 9th last time here but putting a tidy record together. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Ran 2nd last time at this venue and gets a favourable draw. Good to see J Gelabert is jumping on. Should be going forward early. Suited against these.
