Meslay Du Maine Race 8 - Prix De La Touche - Monte
A winner at this venue on his penultimate start LEON DU CLOS (7) is taken to register the fourth triumph of his career following a 7.5L third racing off a 25m handicap at Caen. LEO DES KECHES (1) finished 8.5L fourth contesting a lower graded event at Laval. Expected to deliver a big effort with a top jockey booked to ride. LADY SARAH (4) secured a 0.25L victory at Toulouse making her penultimate start. Danger to all despite suffering a DQ in a Paray-le-Monial driven race subsequently. LEON DE LA COURBE (6) raced prominently prior to fading late running 4.25L sixth at Vincennes. Claims dropping in standard racing barefoot for the first time.
