Clairefontaine Race 7 - Des Peupliers Chase
AKADAME (5) lost out by 1.5L placing second in a 3500m event at Dax on her steeplechase debut. Selected to go one better and record the fourth success of her career. LECA DE THAIX (1) completed a double securing a 4.5L triumph in a 3700m handicap hurdle at Le Lion-d'Angers. Major threat returning to fences for a stable going well at present. JOIE INTERIEURE (2) rates a big threat if sharp for her first start since placing 2L second in the 3450m Listed Prix Vatelys at Compiegne during November 2024. Steeplechase debutant MORGANE DU LARGE (4) enters calculations following a 23L fifth in the 3600m Listed Prix Miror at Compiegne. Something for the Multiples: COME AWAY (3)

Impressive in recent runs. Last outing tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 7 runners at Dax on June 7 over 3500m, 1.5 len behind It's Great carrying 65kg. The run before ran on from midfield and won by 3 len Toulouse on May 27 over 3500m defeating Borougha carrying 69kg at $2.40 in a hurdle. Rates well. Must be respected.

Racing second-up today. Not raced for 44 days. First-up after five months finished 12th of 15 starters at Auteuil in the LR on May 16 over 3600m, on a wet track; 28 len behind French Lover with 67kg at $53. Previously second-up finished sixth of 11 starters at Auteuil in the G2 PRIX MAGALEN BRYANT (Prix Bournosienne) on November 15 over 3600m, 30 len behind Delmegan carrying 65kg at $30.
