Madrid Race 1 - 7f Stakes
HARRY CROSS (2) Brave effort to win narrowly last start here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. One of the top hopes. KATXORRO (1) Placed 2nd last time at the track and promising career start. Showing good ability this preparation. Hard to overlook. BUKANAN (4) First appearance at the races 2yo by Black Beard for trainer Ch Delcher and drawn the rails. Vaclav Janacek is a key engagement. Watch betting. HOBEKI (5) 2yo first starter sired by Black Beard for trainer Juan Carlos Lopez and can find a nice position from the draw. Respect the betting.

Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last time at this track and solid career start. Producing consistent results since returning from a break. Should put in a decent effort.

Started $41.00 and finished 5th last time at this venue but having second career run. Others make far more appeal.

Black Beard 2yo having first race appearance for trainer Ch Delcher and can save some energy from the draw. Jockey Vaclav Janacek rates highly aboard. Watch the market.

Started at $8.50 and disappointing run when 5th last start at this venue but was a debutant last start. Guillermo Arizkorreta has been training plenty of winners recently. Not threatening these.

Was $67.00 and came in 4th last start at the track but fitter for debut run. Needs a mighty effort to win this.
