Caen Race 3 - Prix De Lion-Sur-Mer - Monte
MAXIMO BELLO (12) has turned a corner on the last two starts winning on both occasions firstly at Argentan and then at this venue over 2450m. Hard to fault in this current form and the one to beat. MIL REEF (9) far from disgraced when a solid runner up at Saint Brieuc in a 2575m contest in November. Interesting contender now freshened up. MARECHAL TURGOT (7) not seen since finishing fourth at Vincennes in December when contesting a 2700m. Open to plenty of improvement and can't be ruled out. MICKELSON (1) gelding on debut after winning a trial event at Laval in October. Market movement would be significant.

Four-year-old gelding (Tag Wood - Altea Des Epines) making his debut. Won a trial on October 7 at Laval over 1250m. Early signs are positive - looks the one to beat.

Comes here second-up after two-and-a-half weeks. Lacklustre first-up performance when unplaced over 2900m at Challans, well beaten by Mario Cart in 4yo colts and gelding race on March 1. Not keen.
