Palermo Race 5 - 1M Stakes
HIERATIC (5) was an effortless winner last time over 1400m at this track, scoring by 10 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. OCEAN WATER (4) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1400m at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. MOTTO MOTTO (1) is a talented colt who was well held last time out in a tougher field over 1400m at San Isidro, finishing sixth. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Each way claims. COSMIC STRIPES (2) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Won on debut at the only appearance last prep, taking out a 1400m contest at San Isidro by 2.5 lengths. One of the genuine contenders.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start favourite; won by 0.8 len at this track January 5 over 1600m defeating Exotic Planet carrying 56kg at $2.90. The race before that 4th of 10 at San Isidro on November 26 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Riscape with 56kg at $3.05. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 60-day let-up. Most recently won by a head at La Plata December 11 over 1600m defeating Proude Paris with 53.5kg at $4.20. The run before that 4th of 8 at La Plata on October 31 over 2000m, 4 len behind Darken carrying 56kg at $7.75. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
