Palermo Race 9 - 1M 3F Stakes
CAZADOR DE ARECO (6) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Butterfing over 2000m at Group 1 level at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. NASSAU (7) is a speedy colt who was a winner first up at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see him run well. RIO MORO (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 2000m at San Isidro, scoring by one length. Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. ALTIMUS (4) opened this prep five weeks ago and scored over 1600m at this track, getting home by half a length. Sure to be competitive.
