Palermo Race 2 - 1M 2F Stakes
MANDALORIAN (5) started favourite last time out over 2000m at San Isidro but found a couple better, making it three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Hard to beat this time. RUSELLO (7) finished fourth two runs back, then improved last start to finish second over 2000m at La Plata. He is stepping up a level this time, but on his best form, he is will be right in the finish again. ASPERO SOY (9) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1800m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. One of the main contenders. THANKS GUY (1) missed the frame on turf over 1400m at San Isidro two back then filled a minor placing last start on the same surface at San Isidro, beaten one length over the 1400m journey. Going well at present and is sure to be thereabouts. SECURITY BANKER (8) was among the placings on the turf over 2000m at San Isidro two back, and even after a fair run last time out, he can still figure in the top 4.
