Clairefontaine Race 6 - Des Hortensias Chase
VOL D'ARGENT (2) lost out by 4L placing second in a 3900m conditions steeplechase at Dieppe. Selected to go one better and record the fifth success of his career. ATYPIQUE D'OROUX (5) completed a double securing a 1.25L victory contesting a 3800m handicap hurdle at Dax. Rates a major threat switching to fences. Vol de Nuit gelding PORZMAN (1) is the winner of three of his four fences outings including by 3.5L racing prominently over 3900m at Coraly. Must be considered. LADY DU CLOS (4) faded running 16L fourth tackling 3900m at Dieppe. Worth noting aiming to gain the first triumph of her career. Something for the Multiples: CARGO DE NUIT (3)
