Palermo Race 1 - 7f Stakes

HOLD THE BOY (1) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a second over 1300m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. THE GUARDIAN (4) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at San Isidro over 1400m just nine days ago. Strong run last time and is a definite winning chance. GARDELITO (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1300m at this track with today's rider Laureano Vladimir Colasso engaged. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Should be involved in the finish. END OF THE ROAD (3) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 2200m on the turf course here in early June. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Hector Eduardo Arga Araz. Worth plenty of thought.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since he finished last of 9 at San Isidro November 20 2024 over 1400m, 20 len behind Huayno with 56kg at $2.70. On debut tenth of 12 at San Isidro June 8 2024 over 1400m, 28 len behind Derby County with 55kg at $14.75. This looks a stern test.
