Compiegne Race 2 - St Leger Bois Stakes
THE MAGPIE (1) showed good form prior to breaking through for her first win in scoring by 1L over 2600m at Marseille-Borely. Selected to complete a double. NATORSPEED ESSEF (6) looks well placed to deliver a big effort heading into this race on the back of a 5.5L third in a 2400m maiden at Bordeaux. MERVEILLE (2) completed a double in securing a 1.25L success contesting a 2500m claiming event at Evreux. Strong claims making her first appearance at this circuit. ARIOSTO (3) lost out by 4.5L in placing second over 2500m at Argentan on his penultimate appearance. Of note despite disappointing on handicap debut at Saint-Cloud subsequently.
