Cholet Race 5 - Prix Des Dahlias - Attele
KATCHI QUICK (7) won twice prior to suffering a DQ in a Class D race at Vincennes. Selected to return to winning ways dropping in grade. KORONA DELADOU (5) performed well securing a 1.25L fourth racing off a 25m handicap attempting a lower graded event at Meslay-du-Maine. Bold show expected. JULIANA DE RETZ (9) went well recording a 13L seventh racing on grass at Rambouillet. Shortlist seeking the seventh success of her career. KING KONG SMILE (1) was a winner at Marseille-Vivaux in January. Heads into this event on the back of a 14L ninth trying grass at Tours-Chambray. Better expected on this occasion.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 9th (25m) over 2800m at Tours-Chambray, beaten 43m by Jalenza Du Bocage in 6-7yo handicap on April 12. At the previous start 13th (25m) over 2800m at Pontchateau well beaten by Kelcanto Bello in 6yo handicap on March 29 at $17. Good enough to turn things around.

Failed to impress last start; 14th over 2800m at Rambouillet well beaten by Krunch De L'iton in 6-9yo race on April 12. Showed ability the race before when he won (25m) at La Guerche-de-Bretagne beating Je T'adore Jarl in 6-10yo handicap on March 29. Keep him in mind.

Good win by 0.8L defeating Kueen's Pride on March 18 at Vire over 2800m 6-11yo handicap. Was disqualified last start on April 17 at Vincennes over 2100m 6-11yo race. Ignore last outing and assess on its win two starts back; Strong chance on that effort.
