Marseille Vivaux Race 8

De Sainte-Lucie Stakes - Awt

Prize Money: $25,887

HUNTER'S LUCK (3) raced from the front when losing out by 0.5L in placing second in a 2600m conditions event at this circuit. Selected to go one better to record his fourth win in seven AW starts. WINDFLOWER (1) completed a hat-trick delivering a 0.5L victory in the previously mentioned 2600m event. Expected to play a leading role. NOUS Y SOMMES (2) returned from a short break with a 4.5L third in the previously mentioned contest. Strong claims of doubling his career tally. Sea The Moon filly ORION CLASS (4) made a promising AW debut finishing 5.5L fourth over 2600m here. Warrants close consideration.
