his last effort when downfield at Deauville and he is the firm first choice. TUMBLER (5) is taking
time to get it all right again but is holding form and never far off the action. Strong each way claims.

forgotten.

Summary: HERA (3) posted an eye-catching run when finishing second over 1500m in her last
start and the step up to a mile could be ideal for her to crack up a victory. AMORCITA (1) last run
can be ignored as she shows honest form and never runs far off them. She will certainly make her
presence felt. GOLDEN FLASH (7) was a winner over the distance in her last run and will certainly
have a top three chance. MANOIR (6) holds respectable form and can feature in this field.

RACE 6: LACS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 2150M – TIME: 22:05 PRIZE MONEY: EUR21000
Summary: MORHIB (6) has had racing experience and won three times in his career. He can be
forgiven for his last two starts and if he brings his strong mindset to the race, he can snatch up a
fourth career victory. LIGHTS COME ON (3) ran a cracker in her last start when finishing second,
she does carry 6kgs more in this race but with repeated efforts, she will be sparking up the finish
line. EASTERN STAR (7) has the form to be competitive to fight out the finish. RIMBAULT (2) has
respectable form and definitely is the lurker of the field.

RACE 7: DE CAUSSOLS HANDICAP (FIBRESAND TRACK) – 1500M – TIME: 22:40 PRIZE MONEY: EUR20000
Summary: RED TORCH (6) has had ninety eight starts in his career for ten victories. His form
shows that he runs honest races and could knock up another career victory as he always gives off
his best. MAKENO (11) sparked the eye when finishing second in his last start, he does go up
4,5kgs in weight but does surely seem hungry for a win. BRAVEHEART (8) isn’t far off them and
should run into the money with abit of luck in transit. WIND OF CHANGE (2) can contest for a top
four place chance.

and although stepping back in trip, he can still make a winning performance against his opponents.
LORNE (4) took on much stronger in Class 2 company in her last start and faces a field where she
can be major competitive again. She will go close. RIYAK (9) holds admirable form that he brings
to the race where he has not missed the placings in seven starts of which two of those starts were
victories. He will be a bomb waiting to explode at the finish line. MORSAN (10) has produced two
pleasing efforts in his last two outings and should be in the firing line.

second shows that the victory is near, WAZIERS (5) has stunning form to be competitive to fight
out the finish. NOBLE AMBER (15) has a top four chance and should be right there to round up the
lucky last.
