Dax Race 7 - Paban De France Stakes
Spanish Moon filly NORWISH PONTADOUR (9) is out of a mare who won twice on the flat. Selected to make a winning debut for a good trainer. Stablemate ILEOU (10) is a full-brother to ten time winner Mombasa AA. Major threat with blinkers applied for his racecourse debut. CORSICA (7) performed well running 1.25L second over 2100m at Tarbes on debut. Must be considered despite fading when 7L sixth in a 2100m event here subsequently. Paban de France filly NOLLY DE PAULHAC (13) is a half-sister to prolific winner Calife de Paulhac. Warrants close consideration making her first racecourse appearance.

Three-year-old filly by Paban De France out of Lili De Bersac having her first start. A bold showing is likely.
