San Sebastian Race 2

1m 3f Hcap

Stake: -

WALKCZAK (3) Was fighting out the finish when winning last time around here but hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Has plenty of early speed. Expect a solid run. SOFUNNY (1) Well beaten when 9th last time at this venue. Overlooking the last run and gets a favourable draw. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. SHANGAR (2) Was a comprehensive winner last time around here but rising in weight. Vaclav Janacek is a crucial engagement. Likely to settle back in the field. Goes close. PINTXOPOTE (6) Not up to standard when 10th last start at Dax but gets a reduction in weight. Not out of this.

Started at $8.50 and clearly outclassed when 9th last time at this track. Overlooking the last run and will try to take advantage of the draw. Shows good early pace. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Had a comfortable win last time around here but has to cope with a weight increase. Jockey Vaclav Janacek adds value. Might be ridden for luck. Great chance.

Won narrowly last time at this track but bit of extra work to do with more weight. Likely to be well placed early. Jockey R Sousa rates highly. Tough competitor.

Jumped at $34.00 and was ordinary when 5th last run at this track but drawn beautifully. Yet to fire this preparation. Overlook from a betting angle.

Disappointing display when 6th last run around here. M Lauron is an advantage. Unfortunately, it seems unlikely.
