Auteuil Race 6

Ventriloque Hurdle

Prize Money: $86,587

NOVAK (2) placed in both starts last year including in finishing a head second over this course and distance in May. Selected to break through for his first win. SALUT DES FLOS (1) stepped up on his debut effort in delivering a 1.75L victory in a 3200m event at Compiegne last April. Bold show expected. OPULAS (4) came home 1.75L clear of his nearest rival contesting a 3500m hurdle at Pau on debut. Strong claims of maintaining his unbeaten record. It's Gino gelding MOZAMBIQUE (3) debuted for current connections with an impressive 12L victory in a 3500m conditions hurdle at Pau. Warrants close consideration.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since winning won by 1.75 len Compiegne April 2 over 3200m slow track defeating Maharaja with 67kg at $2.30. First ever race start 3 of 16 starters at Compiegne March 4 over 3200m, 4 len behind Wild Bill Hickok with 67kg at $12. Looks an each-way proposition.

Was well supported at debut, sat on speed throughout then finished second of 11 starters at Angers on February 12 over 3400m, 4 len behind Castelin with 66kg at $3.40. Improver but hard to see him in the placing here.
