Craon Race 2 - Prix Paris Turf X Luc Bellet (Prix Des Halles De Craon) Mdn Stakes
DRIBBLE (10) represents leading owners and profiles well on paper being a son of Mehmas from the Listed winner Gwendola. Likely player first up. COUCOU (1) improved racing second up posting a 1.75L sixth contesting a 1400m maiden at Vichy during July. Open to plenty progress racing for a top in-form trainer. Main danger. TCHERKANOV (3) ran with credit on debut delivering a 5.5L sixth tackling a 1500m class two conditions race at Deauville a month ago. This is easier and with a notable jockey booking makes the shortlist down in grade. VATANEZ (4) is on third outing and goes up in trip. Warrants thought.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, ran last of 8 at Bordeaux on May 23 over 1200m, 11 len behind En Chantant with 56kg at $1.80. Last start 6th of 16 at Vichy on July 20 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Kristolyx with 58.5kg at $4.50. Only needs to raise the bar a little to open his account.

Third race start. First start ran second last of 11 at Saint-Cloud on June 2 over 1400m, on a slow track; 19 len behind Avec Toi with 58kg at $46. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 11 at Le Lion-d'angers on August 9 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Goldy Glory carrying 58.5kg at $49.10. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under his belt.

Two-year-old gelding who is first starter by Seahenge out of City Bere. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.

Two-year-old colt by Mehmas out of Gwendola having his first start. Should play a role in the finish.
