Salon De Provence Race 1

Prix D'arles Hcp

Prize Money: $30,968

HUGO CABRET (1) First up after a break. Secured a close victory last start at Marseille Vivaux and promising career start. Has early speed and positions nicely. Major hope. DERNI CHOP (2) Finished 2nd last start at Saint Cloud and gets a favourable draw. Showing great form this campaign but dropping back to a shorter trip. Showing improvement in recent outings. Has genuine claims in this race. BI BOISY (5) Chimed in with a win last start at Vichy and carrying less weight this time. Might be ridden for luck. Solid place bet prospects. SKALI (3) Came in 4th last run at Lyon Parilly. Expecting improvement here and will benefit with the weight drop. Include in chances.
