Vichy Race 1

Prix Jean Boulard Stakes

Prize Money: $33,278

BASHA (1) Spaced the field to win last time at Aix Les Bains and will find this grade easier. Won't be far away during the run. Fights on bravely so consider. SWIFT MAGIC (3) Average effort when 5th last time at Chantilly. Capable of bouncing back and promising career start. First start for a new trainer. Going well this preparation. Looks well suited in this race. SENEQUE (2) Resuming after a spell. Tidy run when 3rd last time at Longchamp and taking on easier opposition. Gets a favourable draw. Appears as a winning threat. TAKERYA (4) First up and tidy effort when 3rd first up last preparation at Saint Cloud. Matched against lesser competition. Showing consistent performance in races. Chance.

Comments

Resumes after a break of three months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign third in a small field at Longchamp April 23 over 2150m, 2.5 len behind Chamali carrying 57kg at $3.40. First up last campaign second of 10 at Saint-Cloud March 10 over 2000m, soft track; 3 len behind Pearled Majesty carrying 57kg at $2.70. Could prove too smart for these.
