Pontchateau Race 2 - Prix Le Jockey Damgan - Attele
MINUTY DU GERS (8) lost out by a neck when runner-up at Royan. Selected to go one better. MAXIMUS DU FAOUET (7) performed well debuting with a 0.75L second at this venue. Expected to play a role in the finish. MAESTRO DE RETZ (2) suffered an early DQ starting a short-priced favourite at Cherbourg. Dangerous if maintaining stride. MAGIC INSTINCT (11) resumed with a 1.5L victory at Rambouille. Rates highly as the only previous winner in the field.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Mambo Italiano at this track over 2200m in a 3yo colts and gelding race on February 16 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Mythe Du Goutier at Chartres over 2300m in a 3yo colts and gelding race on March 16 at $9. Definite winning chance.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Mister Yellow at Mauquenchy over 2850m in a 3yo race on April 3 at $2.60. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd over 2450m at Caen, beaten 24m by Mario Trembladais in 3yo colts and gelding race on March 17 at $5.60. Has the right credentials to take this out.

Only had 3 starts last preparation. Returned to racing with a handy win a big 5m win at Rambouillet beating Madone D'occagnes in 3yo race on March 30 at $21. Worth sticking with after that strong first-up win.
