Deauville Race 8 - Prix De La Villa Saint-Augustin
ANTHORUS (2) completed a double winning by a head over 1600m at Longchamp. Hard to ignore maintaining a progressive profile. ANTHARIS (1) shaped well when a fair 3.5L fifth in the 1600m Listed Prix de Saint-Patrick at Chantilly. Strong claims making handicap debut. This looks a suitable contest for SEE YOU BOY (3) who must be in the mix having been denied a head second tackling 1400m at Saint-Cloud. NOLA (4) is noted following a 0.75L triumph in a 1600m conditions race at Vichy.
