Auteuil Race 2 - Virelan Hurdle
GUADALQUIVIR (1) broke through for the first win of his career scoring by 9.5L over 3600m at this venue. Selected to complete a double. AZOTE (2) is the winner of two of her last three starts including by 0.75L contesting a 3600m hurdle against her own sex at this circuit. Expected to play a leading role. MON MARCEL (5) had a subsequent winner 1L behind in second when scoring over 3600m at this circuit making his racecourse debut. Strong prospects. MELINOS DE CHARNIE (7) followed up a triumph over 3500m at Cagnes-sur-Mer with a 6.5L fourth in the Listed Prix Andre Massena tackling the same track and trip. One to note.

Second-up today. Fresh up after three to post a big 9 len win. This track on February 14 over 3600m in the wet defeating Silver Laser carrying 67kg at $4.50 in a hurdle. Previously second-up finished ninth of 11 starters at this track in the G1 on November 16 over 3600m, 25 len behind Leopard Du Berlais with 67kg at $70. Fitter and will be tough to beat.

Resumes off a 62 day letup. Last run finished seventh of 9 runners at Cagnes-sur-Mer in the LR on January 4 over 3500m, slow track; 15 len behind Isaac Of York with 68kg at $6.50.
