Pau Race 1

Pyrenees Chase

Prize Money: $73,684

FOREST DU PECOS (1) lost out by 1L under a big weight finishing fourth over 3900m at this circuit. Can return to winning ways. LOKI DE LA BRUNIE (2) registered a 0.5L second in the previously mentioned 3900m event. Bold show expected seeking the second win of his career. SHERKARA (4) won twice last year including by 5L a 3900m hurdle at La Teste making her penultimate start. Step forward expected after running 8L seventh in the 3900m contest mentioned previously. LAVANDE (3) came home 14L fourth contesting a 3500m hurdle at this track. This full-sister to the useful pair Korral and Jamailya may show improvement switching to fences.
