Auteuil Race 7 - Alain Grimaux Handicap Hurdle
KIKOUNETTE (1) registered a 4L third in the 3600m Listed Prix Spumate handicap hurdle at Compiegne. Selected to record her second win of the year. ADRENALYNE (11) is expected to go well switching to hurdles following a 1L victory in a 4250m steeplechase at Argentan. STAR DE LA BLAIRIE (7) came home 12L third contesting a 3500m hurdle at this track. Must be considered taking on a handicap. VERONALE (12) placed third beaten 6L over 3600m making handicap debut at Compiegne. One to note.
