Dax Race 2 - Prix Bernard D'arexy Claiming Stakes
APPEN (3) faded late on in finishing 7.25L fourth competing in a track and trip maiden. Selected to break through for her first win switched to a claimer. SHELLONA (4) improved on her debut effort in registering a 7.5L fifth in the previously mentioned course contest. Expected to play a leading role. MERCI AGATHE (8) demonstrated ability in finishing 5.5L fourth over 1100m at Salon-de-Provence three starts back. Shortlisted with a tongue tie applied for the first time. Cloth Of Stars filly LADY BLACK (2) debuted with a 12L fifth contesting a 1300m event at San Sebastian. Warrants close consideration.
