Craon Race 1

Prix Association Des Aqps (Prix Richard De Gennes) Arab Stakes Group 3

Prize Money: $55,574

A race for non pure breds (AQPS). NAYONS PEUR DERIEN (4) fell on first career appearance over 2400m at Le Lion d'Angers but improved and narrowly came out on top by a head over the same course and distance. Can double up. NUIT DE STAR (1) bids for a hat-trick. Won attempting 2400m at Senonnes-Pouance by 1L then fobrowed up with a 2.5L victory in the G3 Prix de l'isle Briand at Le Lion d'Angers. Dangerous. NULLE S'Y FROTTE (5) narrowly lost out by a head to place second behind the top pick in the aforementioned Le Lion d'Angers contest. May reverse the placings. NIRANO DE PALMA (3) cannot be left out after placing second in the G3 Prix de l'isle Briand.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len at Group 3 level at Le Lion-d'angers at Le Lion-d'angers on July 24 over 2400m defeating Nirano De Palma carrying 62.5kg at $2.30. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Senonnes-Pouancé on July 2 over 2400m defeating Nina D'ange carrying 65kg at $2.60. In form and certainly worth following up.

At debut, won settled well back; won by a head at Le Lion-d'angers on August 2 over 2400m defeating Noeland with 63.5kg at $7.80. Hard to fault form and can measure up again.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 44-day let-up. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Group 3 level at Le Lion-d'angers at Le Lion-d'angers on July 24 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Nuit De Star with 62.5kg at $3. Before that scored a big 7 len win at Lyon-Parilly on June 21 over 2400m defeating Noe Du Seuil with 65.5kg at $1.40. Definite chance in this small line-up.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, didn't finish the race at Le Lion-d'angers August 2 over 2400m. Last start favourite; won by a head at Le Lion-d'angers on August 9 over 2400m defeating Nulle S'y Frotte with 64kg at $2. Tough to beat on latest and can measure up again.
