Merano Race 4

2M 3F Stakes

Prize Money: -

LORD DES PLACES (7) First run back from a 28 week spell. Competitive effort when 2nd last start in a chase at Merano and solid career start. Should race on the speed. Serious contender. CORAIL NOIR (2) Should be ready to fire fresh. Really dug deep when winning last start here. Has to be strongly considered. JUMP DES BRUYERES (5) Racing fresh today after a 30 week break. Was strong to the line when winning last time around here. Jockey Jan Faltejsek is in form for this stable. One of the hopes. GRAND DE THAIX (3) Resuming after a spell of 28 weeks. Nice run when 3rd last start at this track but will be dropping in distance. Jockey L Matusky is in form. Needs some luck and is an each way suggestion.
