Marseille Vivaux Race 2

Arganiers Stakes - Awt

Prize Money: $34,126

Wooded colt WALWOOD (2) looks capable of delivering the second win of his career following a 5.5L sixth contesting a 1500m conditions event at Cagnes-sur-Mer. NAY (3) broke her maiden in coming home 0.75L clear of her nearest puruser in a turf event at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Rates a major threat making her AW debut. Victor Ludorum colt VICTOR VITAE (1) suffered a 10L defeat in registering an eighth place finish over this distance at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Shortlist. ILIANNABELLA (5) broke her maiden at the sixth attempt in recording a 0.5L victory in a 1300m maiden at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Warrants close consideration.
