Palermo Race 3 - 1M Stakes
HI OPINION (3) sets the benchmark after a debut 5th at Palermo over 1600m and sticks to the trip. ELIUD (1) was 4th here over 1400m last start, beaten 3.7L, and draws the inside with fitness on his side. BLUE WARRIOR (8) wasn’t far away when 6th at San Isidro over 1600m two weeks ago and maps to be competitive again. Others have limited exposed form, with several resuming or unexposed at the mile.
