Auteuil Race 3 - Gemix Hurdle
BANDETOBEALIVE (1) made the perfect start to his career debuting with a 0.75L victory in a 3500m event at Nantes. Looks capable of completing a double. NAEL BIHOUE (4) recorded a good effort placing 5L second contesting a 3500m race at Nantes on his first start. Expected to deliver another big effort. TELEVISION (2) stepped up on his debut outing placing 6.5L third tackling track and trip. Rates highly representing top connections. ROYAL FLUSH HAS (11) featured prominently prior to running 11L fifth here attempting the journey making his first appearance. Will be better for the experience and is one worth noting.

Encouraging debut as favourite; won by 0.8 len Nantes on April 14 over 3500m slow track defeating Fleur De Vie carrying 67kg at $2.90 in a hurdle. Can improve on first race start performance. Rates well on first outing and can open winning account.

Raced two times to date. At debut, settled back and ran on when finished sixth of 12 runners at this track on March 14 over 3000m, in the wet; 9 len behind Navy Du Seuil carrying 67kg at $13. Second-up finished third of 7 starters at this track on April 2 over 3000m, 6 len behind Magic Des Charmes with 66kg at $22. Has been racing well. Expect him to be tough to beat.

Useful gelding. Last run finished third of 13 starters at this track on April 19 over 3000m, slow track; 18 len behind Huron Bleu with 67kg at $31. The start before that; finished 13th of 15 starters at Saint-Cloud on March 10 over 2000m, slow track; 22 len behind Soft Dream carrying 56.5kg at $28. Progressing well this campaign. Open to improvement and expected to go well.

Three-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Telecaster out of Libaute. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Keep very safe.

Jumped at long odds at debut, finished fifth of 13 starters at this track on April 19 over 3000m, on slow going 27 len behind Huron Bleu carrying 67kg at $41. Look for improvement today. Sure to be thereabouts and can find best form again here.

At debut, ran on from midfield; finished eighth of 12 starters at this track on March 14 over 3000m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Navy Du Seuil carrying 67kg at $7.40. Can improve on that effort. Should be improved and given another chance.
