San Sebastian Race 1 - 7F Stakes
CONTESA (4) Ran 6th last time at Madrid. Capable of a strong comeback and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Recent form of G Arizkorreta is strong. Go close. STEPINMYDIRECTION (2) Sub-standard effort when 9th last run at Madrid. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey R Sousa is highly regarded. No surprise to see a win. UNFOLLOW (6) 3yo first starter by Gutaifan for trainer D Lopez F. C Perez is a key engagement. Keep your eye on the market. ECLAIR LANE (1) Average performance when 8th last time at Madrid but will appreciate a good stall. Looks promising in this race.

Jumped at $15.00 and disappointing outing when 8th last time at Madrid but has drawn the rails. Represents value in this race.

Odds of $10.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 9th last run at Madrid. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should be going forward early. R Sousa is a pivotal booking. Should go well.

Back from a break. Odds of $41.00 and unimpressive effort when 9th last start at Pau. Might be ridden for luck. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.

At $1.90 came in 6th last time at Madrid. Capable of a strong comeback and showing consistent performance in races. Vaclav Janacek is an advantage but coming back in distance. Gets a solid chance here.

Odds of $10.00 and just average when 6th last run at Dos Hermanas but has a good draw. Can't have today.

First race appearance 3yo by Gutaifan for trainer D Lopez F. Jockey C Perez rates highly. Watch for a sign in the market.
