Palermo Race 2 - 5f Stakes
LA INGENIOSA TEXANA (8) brings the best recent 1000m form, runner-up at Palermo on 30 Mar, and looks the one to beat. DELIGHT (7) was 2nd over this trip at Palermo on 2 Mar before a forgivable 11th, and is a key chance. FABULOUS PLAY (5) has solid sprint placings at San Isidro, including 2nd over 1100m and 3rd over 1200m, and can figure back to 1000m. FINA INGLESA (4) was 4th at Palermo over 1000m last start and adds depth. Something for the Multiples: LA INGENIOSA TEXANA (8) DELIGHT (7) FINA INGLESA (4)

Three-year-old colt by Daniel Boone out of Queijadinha for trainer N Nickel. Draws barrier 9 with J Peralta at 56kg. Limited exposed details, so the setup is the key guide. Can improve with race experience.
