Chantilly Race 3 - Prix De La Croix Marquet Mdn Stakes - Awt
STERLE (8) lost out by 1.5L debuting with a second in a 1600m newcomers event on turf at this circuit. Taken to break his maiden at the second attempt. NUMERI HOOVES (7) raced from off the pace prior to finishing 8L fourth contesting a valuable 1600m sales event at Longchamp. Expected to produce a big effort. TELEGRAPH ROAD (4) changed trainer since registering a 16L sixth over 1408m at Fairyhouse in June. Rates highly on form demonstrated when fourth at Leopardstown making debut. Having debuted third on turf here WHEELING (6) is expected to perform better than he did trailing 13L trying 2000m at Compiegne subsequently.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 7 at Chantilly on September 19 over 2000m, 1.75 len behind Ipanema Rose with 58kg at $10.90. Second-up settled back and ran on when 8th of 10 at Compiegne on October 9 over 2000m, slow going 13 len behind Merci Mille Fois with 58kg at $12.50. Can do much better this time.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 15 at Longchamp on October 3 over 1600m, 8 len behind Master Man carrying 57kg at $64. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Saint-Cloud on September 11 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Zen Poetry with 58kg at $11.70. Best efforts give him a live chance.
