Marseille Borely Race 1

Des Cigales Stakes

Prize Money: $34,091

LOVELY WARRIOR (1) has placed second in his last two starts including in losing out by 2.5L over 1200m at Lyon-Parilly. Selected to break his maiden at the fourth attempt. LUDWIG DER ZWEITE (2) debuted with a promising 2.5L fifth competing in a 1200m conditions race held on very heavy going at this venue. Expected to play a part in the finish. HOCKNEY (3) failed to shine in registering a 23L twelfth in the previously mentioned Lyon-Parilly race on his first start. Better expected racing in a tongue tie for the first time. Stunning Spirit colt BOUDECHOU (6) is out of a mare who won twice. One to note.
