Dax Race 2

Prix Bernard D'arexy Claiming Stakes

Prize Money: $19,868

APPEN (3) faded late on in finishing 7.25L fourth competing in a track and trip maiden. Selected to break through for her first win switched to a claimer. SHELLONA (4) improved on her debut effort in registering a 7.5L fifth in the previously mentioned course contest. Expected to play a leading role. MERCI AGATHE (8) demonstrated ability in finishing 5.5L fourth over 1100m at Salon-de-Provence three starts back. Shortlisted with a tongue tie applied for the first time. Cloth Of Stars filly LADY BLACK (2) debuted with a 12L fifth contesting a 1300m event at San Sebastian. Warrants close consideration.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 7th of 11 at La Teste De Buch on June 26 over 1400m, 19 len behind She's Box Office with 56kg at $64.90. Last start 5th of 8 at this track on July 17 over 1200m, 7 len behind Sevensix with 57kg at $28.30. This race is well within her grasp.
