Craon Race 3 - Prix Arqana - Criterium De L'ouest Listed Stakes
TIMIDE (3) delivered the perfect start to his career when making all to score by 1.75L attempting a 1400m class two conditions race at Le Lion-d'Angers. Represents leading connections and trainer arrives maintaining an excellent strike rate. Top chance. WITCHWAY (1) brings a lot more experience with three victories and a placing from six career starts including a 2.5L success contesting a 1600m class two conditions event at Vichy. Claims. KINGA (7) managed to take a big step forward on second outing when a close runner-up contesting a 1400m maiden at Compiegne during July. Might feature. GOLDEN SAVIOR (9) looks progressive after gaining a triumph trying 1800m in a maiden at Clairefontaine. Interesting up in standard.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran second last of 10 at Saint-Cloud on June 12 over 1400m, 10 len behind Flying Spur carrying 55.5kg at $8.70. Second-up 2nd of 11 at Compiegne on July 10 over 1400m, head behind Peintresse carrying 58.5kg at $37.80. Key runner who is a great chance to atone.
