Palermo Race 9 - 7F Stakes
LIBERTO (1) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 1600m in Group 2 grade at this track last time out. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. LOCHNESS (5) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at San Isidro. Has good early speed. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. MODERNO (7) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance last start in a much improved run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DON GRIEGO (6) scored last start at this track to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Not to be discounted.
