Marseille Vivaux Race 4 - Prix Du Clos Simonette - Attele
ICARE DUNGY (8) is the winner of two of his past three starts including by a nose racing off a 25m handicap at Grenade. Selected to defy a similar handicap and complete a double. ICARE FILE (10) was behind a subsequent winner when finishing 1.25L second at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Expected to deliver another big effort. ILLUSTRE BLUE (2) has won his last two starts following up a win at this circuit with a 0.75L triumph in a Cagnes-sur-Mer amateur drivers event. Shortlist. GRANITA DES BOIS (11) recorded a 3L third at this venue on her penultimate outing. Notable contender seeking the seventh success of her career.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Illico De Bouteau at this track over 2650m in a 7-10yo gelding handicap on December 11 at $92. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.2m finishing second behind Jorlando at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2150m in a 6-10yo race on December 27 at $6.10. Well placed, should prove hard to beat.
