Prize Money: $32,107

NEBEK BLAGNY (4) Tidy run when 3rd last time at Machecoul. Must respect in this event. HOTISSIMO (5) Edouard Monfort trained 3yo by Too Darn Hot having first start. Watch the market. PURPLE BAY (1) Finished 4th last start at Cagnessurmer. Overlooking the last run. Can get the job done. LE CITADIN (3) Resuming from break. Competitive effort when 2nd last time at Angers and has a nice advantage with a good stall. Likely to get back in the run. Key player.

Was at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 12 at Saint-Cloud on March 24 over 2400m, 23 len behind Calasita with 56kg at $53. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.
