Marseille Vivaux Race 8 - Prix Benjamin - Attele
MALIN DE L'ANTE (4) recorded his best effort since winning on debut delivering a 1.75L third at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Selected to double his career tally. MIKE DES CARREAUX (3) performed well when 7.5L third to a subsequent winner at Marseille-Borely in November. Warrants thought as expected to produce another big performance. MANITOBA (6) left a DQ at Cagnes-sur-Mer behind placing 1.25L second at the same venue. Shortlist. Cristal Money gelding MYSTIC BOND (7) faded late running 7.25L fourth at Cagnes-sur-Mer three starts back. Dangerous despite suffering DQ at the same circuit on both subsequent starts.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Major Gede at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m in a 3yo colts and gelding race on December 18 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.2m finishing third behind My Way De Quelette at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 2925m in a 4yo colts and gelding race on January 25. One of the key runners.

Recent efforts have been modest. Last start unplaced over 2700m at Cagnes-sur-Mer well beaten by Mexicain in 4yo race on February 3 at $10. The run before unplaced over 2700m at Cagnes-sur-Mer, well beaten by Mango Castelets in 4yo colts and gelding race on January 16 at $8.90. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.
