Deauville Race 1

De Benerville Stakes - Awt

Prize Money: $46,901

SWEET CHOP (1) is taken to go one place better than when 3L second over 1300m at Chantilly AW. Leading contender. VALMACCA (4) can go well on the back of a head win in a 1400m handicap at this circuit. LADY WINNER (3) broke through for her first victory when successful by a head at Bordeaux. Danger to all on her AW debut. MEHMIST (2) is another with claims following a win over 1300m here.

Resuming after a ten weeks break. Not seen since winning by head Bordeaux November 5 over 1600m defeating Rue Roy with 58kg at $4.90. On debut third of 12 at Mont-de-Marsan September 14 over 1600m, soft track; 5 len behind Lixta with 57kg at $11. Capable of picking up where she left off.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run won by a head at this track December 13 over 1400m defeating Yellow Hawk with 60.5kg at $5.50. The run before that won by 1.75 len at Toulouse November 17 over 1200m defeating French Chunky carrying 56.5kg at $4.10. Form good for this and looks one of the major hopes.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Second-up. First start ran last of 7 at Deauville on July 7 over 1200m, 15 len behind Estepona carrying 58kg at $31. Went for a spell before returning 3rd of 10 at this track on December 18 over 1300m, 0.7 len behind Soledad with 58kg at $34. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.
