Dax Race 6 - Pierre Et Benoit Vergez Stakes
BIGBOSS PECOS (1) built on a promising debut 0.5L second at Mont-de-Marsan and secure a 0.5L victory over 2100m at Tarbes. Selected to register back-to-back wins. Stablemate FORBES DU PECOS (2) placed 0.5L second in the previously mentioned Tarbes race. Expected to challenge. Bosardo filly FOCOSA DU PECOS (8) raced from off the pace before placing 1.5L third tackling 2000m in the previously mentioned Mont-de-Marsan contest. Must be considered. One of three runners for trainer Christelle Courtade is Paban de France filly ANOETA (7) who looks the main hope on jockey bookings. Warrants close consideration.

Third race start today. At debut, ran last of 8 at Mont-de-Marsan on March 12 over 2000m, on a wet track; 20 len behind Forbes Du Pecos carrying 58kg at $11. Last start 10th of 13 at Tarbes on April 5 over 2100m, 6 len behind Bigboss Pecos carrying 58kg. Can't recommend against this lot.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd of 8 at Mont-de-Marsan on March 12 over 2000m, on heavy track; 1.75 len behind Forbes Du Pecos carrying 53.5kg at $4. Capable of taking this out.
