Palermo Race 5 - 5f Stakes

TARTANA FRANK (3) finished fifth over this distance at her latest outing. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Will find this much easier. Bold showing expected. CARAFFA GAL (4) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last start at this track over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. LADY NICOLASA (1) finished third last time over 1100m at La Plata, beaten 1.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards. FELINE FORGE (5) opened this prep four weeks ago and scored over 1100m at this track, getting home by 2 lengths. Can give this a shake.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 11 at La Plata on July 21 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Merle Oberon with 57kg at $3.50. The run before that 2nd of 10 at La Plata on June 16 over 1200m, 3 len behind Filha with 56kg at $6.40. Genuine hope on best form.

Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently ran second last in a small field at this track on July 24 over 1000m, 7 len behind Stranger Key carrying 57kg at $8.95. The run before that ran second last of 11 at this track on July 10 over 1200m, 11 len behind Phila Street with 57kg at $15.40. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
