Vincennes Race 8 - Prix De Vimoutiers - Attele
Equinoxe gelding MIRACLE OF LOVE (8) had been in good form prior to suffering a DQ at Pornichet. Taken to return to winning ways making his first start at this venue. MIRAGE QUICK (2) rates a major threat heading into this race on the back of a 16L triumph competing on grass at Avignon. MELIUS AVIS (10) recorded his best effort in seven starts this year securing a 2.25L second at Enghien. Strong claims of going one better to record his first victory. A winner at Mauquenchy earlier this year MERCATO DES FORGES (4) returned from a break with a 0.75L second at Les Sables-d'Olonne. Warrants close consideration.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following July 4 run. Last start won by 49m at Avignon beating Massilia Enjoy in 4yo race on July 26. This race will be harder than that win. Looking to others in this race.

Second-up here following a spell. Game effort when 2nd over 2650m at Les Sables-d'olonne, beaten 2.7m by My Kly Era in 4yo colts and gelding race on August 4 at $20. Will come on following that run and is a leading contender.

Good win by 0.8L defeating Moncoeur De Dypp on July 13 at Le Mans over 2200m 4yo colts and gelding race. Was disqualified last start on August 20 at Pornichet over 2650m 4yo colts and gelding race. Ignore last start and assess on its win two starts back; Strong chance on that effort.
