Palermo Race 3 - 1M Stakes
MOTTO MOTTO (1) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at this track, beaten only one length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MOTORCITO (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at La Plata last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is one of the main chances. CITY FOR SALE (6) made progress last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. NEVADO CATEDRAL (4) is resuming from a spell of six-and-a-half months and having his first run for the Gerardo Alteño yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Group 1 level at this track over 1600m.
