Palermo Race 9 - 1m Stakes
SPEEDMASTER (2) is a handy type who resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. At his last appearance he finished fifth over 2000m in the G2 Otono at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has a very strong record first-up including two wins. Reunites with jockey Juan Cruz Villagra who knows him well, including two wins while aboard. Best form puts him right in this. ELIUD (4) won last time out over 1600m at this track, and Juan Carlos Noriega, who was aboard that day, keeps the ride. Nice weight drop this time around. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. YOU SEEK (3) turned in a modest performance when eighth last start over 1400m at La Plata. That followed a good first-up win there. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. LEMON DROP SAN (6) was close up last time over 1400m at this track, finishing just a nose from the winner in second. Starts today with a better weight. Has

Second-up. Comes off a 43-day let-up. First-up after five months won by a nose at this track May 1 over 1400m defeating Lemon Drop San carrying 56.5kg at $9.10. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at San Isidro on July 20 over 1400m, 15 len behind Magistral Boy with 56kg at $15.60. Worth consideration.
