Palermo Race 7 - 7 1/2F Stakes
LIBERTO (2) lines up on the back of a 4.5 lengths third over 1400m at San Isidro. Among the top chances in a very handy field. MONTEAGRELO (5) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by half a length over 1400m at San Isidro. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed, and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. ALADO FRANK (6) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third in Group 2 grade at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Strong claims on best figures. VLADIMIR (4) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at Group 2 level at this track over 1200m. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he cannot be ruled out.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 2nd in a small field at San Isidro on March 2 over 1200m, in the wet; 11 len behind Liberto carrying 55kg at $6.15. Last start won by 0.5 len at San Isidro April 4 over 1400m defeating Winston carrying 55kg at $8.90. Going well enough to take this out.
