Angers Race 7 - Prix King Black - Attele
LOTUS MADRIK (11) is the winner of two of his last three starts including by 0.75L at Nantes. Selected to record a fourth win in twelve career starts. L'ARTISTE DE BOMO (9) lost out by 1.75L placing second in a higher graded event at Cholet making his penultimate appearance. Expected to play a leading role despite suffering a DQ at Le Mont-Saint-Michel subsequently. LOUJYO VITA (7) followed up a 3.25L second attempting a Class G race with a 17L seventh at Bordeaux. Dangerous against this field. LICKING CELESTE (6) came home 3.25L clear of his nearest rival at Grenade delivering his penultimate outing. Notable contender.

First up. At the last run he unplaced over 3250m at Saumur well beaten by Lasca Prior in 4yo handicap on October 19. Capable of playing a major role despite the layoff.

Last start unplaced over 2875m at Argentan well beaten by Lazaal in 4yo colts and gelding handicap on December 14 at $47. Before that, 9th over 2950m at Toulouse beaten 41m by Luigi Wallie in 4yo colts and gelding handicap on November 14 at $6.90. Worth consideration.

Returns to racing after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation when at very big odds behind Lovely One. Not keen on his chances.
