Marseille Borely Race 1

Petit Cercle Stakes

Prize Money: $40,853

OSHIA (2) improved from a debut third to win by 2.5L on second start over course and distance in a class three contest. Can secure a double. ASTREA (6) finished runner-up all three appearances so far including placing second behind the top pick tackling track and trip. May reverse placings. SICILIANO (5) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Time Test and is the first foal out of Frankel mare Senita. Watch closely. CHARMING CAT (1) holds plenty of racecourse experience. Not missed top three all four career starts. Won by a nose at this venue attempting 1000m. Could go one better than second at Salon-de-Provence.

Going well. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Salon-de-Provence on May 15 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Vol D'amour carrying 60kg at $2.60. Before that favourite; won by a nose at this track April 22 over 1000m defeating Amelia with 59.5kg at $1.40. Definite winning chance. Hard to leave out on current form.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 7th of 10 at this track on March 19 over 1000m, slow going 5.5 len behind The Black Stone carrying 58kg at $10. Doesn't bring the right form to the table.
