Vichy Race 1 - J. Bollard Stakes
C'EST VRAI (3) faded late when 2L fourth over 2000m at Lyon-Parilly. Selected to record the second win of his career. ALMAROMY (5) is expected to go well on the back of a 1L success in a 2000m handicap at Marseille-Borely. NORMANDY MAN (1) came home 4.75L fifth when contesting a 1600m conditions event at Lyon-Parilly. Shortlist. DONEGAL (2) also holds claims on the form he showed when 1.75L third at Salon-de-Provence on his penultimate start.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 5th of 8 at Lyon-Parilly on June 14 over 1600m, 5 len behind Exposure carrying 57.5kg at $7.10. The start before that won by 1.75 len at Lyon-Parilly May 17 over 1600m defeating I Am Paradou with 62kg at $7.10. Can improve and should figure in the finish.
