Cholet Race 7 - Begonias Maiden Stakes
VELIKAYA (1) missed by a head debuting over 2000m at Longchamp. Looks up to breaking her maiden at the second attempt. FREENESS (13) rates a big threat with the daughter of Ribchester set to make her racecourse debut. LA BANEZA (6) enters calculations on the back of a 2L fifth in a 2000m event at Longchamp when providing her first start. XCLUSIVITE (5) placed third beaten 3.25L tackling 2000m at Le Lion-d'Angers. Warrants close consideration.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. Last start 6th of 12 at Nort-sur-Erdre on April 20 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Jeans And Jewells with 55.5kg. The run before that ran last of 8 at Le Mans on March 21 over 1950m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Cortella carrying 55.5kg at $81. Impossible to make a case.

Three-year-old filly who is first starter by Ribchester out of Pearl Of Freedom. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.
