Madrid Race 1 - 7 1/2f Stakes
DRAGON FORCE (1) First run back from a break. Had a comfortable win last time at San Sebastian and honest performer putting a tidy record together. R Sousa is a smart booking. Rates strongly. MELLO MELLO (3) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this track. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Vaclav Janacek is a key booking. Can get the job done . REQUEJO LEGEND (2) Won last start at San Sebastian and drawn beautifully. A Gutierrez is in good form for this stable. Been in the money each attempt this campaign. Gets a chance to win. ANDREA (4) 2yo by Sioux Nation having initial appearance for Guillermo Arizkorreta and drawn nicely. Keep your eye on the market.

Resumes from a break. Was dominant when winning last time at San Sebastian and promising career start. Good to see jockey R Sousa is jumping on. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Handy enough when winning last start at San Sebastian and has drawn the rails. Jockey A Gutierrez and trainer Miguel Alonso Roldan form a proven partnership. Solid prospects.

Tidy run when 3rd last run at San Sebastian and was a debutant last start. D Sikorova and C Buesa are an appealing combination. Will need to find a few more lengths.
