Palermo Race 8

5F Stakes

Stake: $8,405

AZZURRO KEY (8) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a nose away in second over 1000m at this track. Has the speed to overcome the draw, and he is good enough to take this out. SILOGISMO (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1000m at this track, beaten half a length. Finds a tougher race, but he has the talent to test this line-up. METAL FORGE (2) is back from a four-and-a-half-month spell, and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1000m at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. SICION (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up effort. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.

Entire returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign tenth of 12 at this track March 17 over 1000m, 14 len behind Maldito Sea carrying 57kg at $15.75. Previous preparation first-up won by head this track March 1 over 1000m in the wet defeating Aire Libre with 57kg at $6. Could prove too smart for these.
