Cholet Race 6 - Acacias Maiden Stakes
ZARIBIYAN (2) suffered a 4.25L in registering a fourth place finish as favourite for a 2000m newcomers event at Saint-Cloud. Selected to make amends with a tongue tie applied for the first time. MAINE DE BIRAN (4) demonstrated improved form in resuming with a head second contesting a 2000m maiden at Le Lion-d'Angers. CITOYEN (6) showed up well in delivering a 1.5L fifth in a 2000m maiden at Fontainebleau on his racecourse debut. Shortlisted for a top stable. Expected to challenge for the win. Unraced Oasis Dream gelding OASIS CALL (8) is out of a mare who won over 1600m in Ireland. One to note.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 10 at Lignieres on April 7 over 1600m, slow going 20 len behind Chaconne carrying 53.5kg at $63. Won't find this any easier so he is likely to struggle again.
