Mont De Marsan Race 1

Prix Chateau Font Merlet Stakes

Prize Money: $40,894

EPIFAGNA (3) Finished 6th last run at Bordeaux Le Bouscat. May see an upturn in form and promising career start. Showing good ability since returning from a break. Respect in this company. REINE ESTHER (2) Lacklustre showing when 9th last run at Chantilly. Likely to bounce back and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be going forward early. Facing a rise in trip. Key player. PASSAGE VALLET (1) Snagged a narrow win last start at Cholet. Each way hopes. FLORENCIA (7) Fresh today after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Tarbes and having second race start. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Right in this.

Comes here off a 53-day let-up. Most recently ran last of 9 at Chantilly in the LR PRIX LA FLECHE on May 31 over 1000m, 14 len behind Tokaido carrying 55.5kg at $10. Before that won by a neck at Lyon-Parilly April 18 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Tipere with 55kg at $3.50. Better than last start suggests.

Last start ran last in a small field at Deauville in the LR PRIX ROLAND DE CHAMBURE on July 4 over 1400m, 15 len behind Avec Toi carrying 55.5kg at $13.40. The start before that won by 1.5 len at Marseille-Borely June 12 over 1200m defeating Sunny Queen with 59.5kg at $4.80. Rates highly. Big chance.
