San Sebastian Race 5 - 7 1/2f Stakes
NARCEA (3) Secured the win by a slim margin last time here and solid career start. Tracking very well this preparation and drawn nicely. Expected to settle towards the rear. Has the ability to take this out. STRELLING (4) Shot clear to win last time at Mont De Marsan and good career start. Has plenty of early speed. R Sousa is a smart booking. Very competitive this campaign. One of the top hopes. KATXORRO (2) Was dominant when winning last run around here and promising career start. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Big danger. ZELRYA (5) Was competitive when 2nd last time around here. Displaying good ability this campaign. Needs to lift.

Back from a break. Looked good when 3rd last start at Madrid and has drawn the rails. Vaclav Janacek is a suitable booking. This won't be easy.

Comprehensive victory when winning last time at Mont De Marsan and putting a tidy record together. Should muster plenty of early speed. Racing consistently this campaign. Strong claims.

Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this venue. In strong racing shape since returning from a break. Most likely not today.
