Salon De Provence Race 4 - Prix De La Metropole Provence - Monte
NINEPOINTS LASSE (5) takes the eye following a 2.25L victory at Vincennes. Looks up to registering fourteenth win of his career. CHARLES OP (1) passed the post first prior to suffering a DQ at Amiens. Expected to go well. IDEAL DE BANNES (2) lost out by 0.75L when runner-up at Saint-Galmier on his penultimate outing. Rates highly. GRIGRI DU BONHEUR (6) is another to consider on the back of a 6.5L fourth in a driven event at Cagnes-sur-Mer.

Good run 7.6L second behind Natural Mine at Agen over 2625m 6-10yo euro open restricted race on February 15. Was disqualified last start on March 5 at Amiens over 2900m 7-10yo euro open. Ignore last outing and assess on its second two starts back; Worth another chance.
