Angers Race 9 - Plantagenet Maiden Stakes
DARK SECRET (6) placed top three in five of his six starts to date including when recording a 1.5L second over 2000m at Saint-Cloud making handicap debut. Selected to go one better. HURRICANGO (4) recorded a career best effort finishing second stepping up to 2200m at Nantes. Warrants thought as a bold show expected. CAZADERO (1) could be delivering a big effort following a 1.25L third competing in a 2100m maiden at Senonnes. City Light filly CRYSTAL LIGHT (11) caught the eye racing from off the pace prior to placing 1.25L second in the previously mentioned Senonnes maiden. Worth giving close consideration.

Second run back. First-up after four months second last of 9 at Machecoul on April 6 over 2350m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Zamasiya with 56kg. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Pornichet on December 19 over 3100m, 15 len behind Mr Tee carrying 54kg at $48. Hard to recommend.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start made ground from midfield; 2nd of 16 at Saint-Cloud on March 29 over 2000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Drumard carrying 55.5kg at $8.30. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Fontainebleau on March 6 over 2000m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Serenissimus with 58kg at $7.40. Steps out over an extra 100m and must be considered.

Racing first-up today. Not seen since she finished last of 12 at Saint-Malo July 24 over 2500m, soft track; 20 len behind Bonjour Mon Amour with 55kg at $14. On debut second last of 14 at Le Lion-d'angers May 6 over 2000m, soft track; 42 len behind Sepulveda with 56kg at $55. Shows promise and is worth including.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign eased back early on in a small field at Compiegne on July 29 over 2000m, slow going 8 len behind She's A Tease with 54.5kg at $3.60. First up last campaign eased back early on 4th of 7 at Longchamp on May 15 over 2000m, 2 len behind Majolique carrying 58kg at $16. Not far away latest and could sneak into the finish.
