Palermo Race 2 - 7F Stakes
MARRUECOS (3) will find this a little easier than his second on debut a month ago, beaten 2.5 lengths at the end of 1200m at this track. Has a low draw, so he should be in the finish again. LAST CHANCE (5) is racing okay without winning, including a last start third over 1600m at this track. Genuine contender. ZAKAPA (6) didn't do a lot on debut six-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing eighth over 1500m at San Isidro. Plenty of scope for improvement. Likely to feature. EL ENIGMA (10) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Carlos Daniel Etchechoury. By Il Campione from Alegra Band. Watch the market closely.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on May 3 over 1600m, 7 len behind Nevado Catedral with 56kg at $6.25. Before that 3rd of 11 at this track on April 13 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Gardel Pass carrying 55.5kg at $6.70. Leading chance again.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Il Campione out of Alegra Band. Profiles nicely for this.
