Deauville Race 7 - Prix Des Gorges De La Vire Hcp
SOFT DREAM (3) Looked good when 2nd last start at Lyon Parilly and dropping in class. Racing for a new trainer. Has the ability to figure. MOONEY VISION (4) Tidy run when 3rd last time at Longchamp and going down in class. Fh Graffard (S) has been training plenty of winners recently. In good shape this preparation. Looks to be value. GOOD BYE DAVIER (5) Tidy run when 3rd last run at Dieppe and competing in a lower grade. Does take a while to get into stride. Stepping up in trip. Cracking each way value. PURPLE BAY (6) Ran 4th last run at Longchamp but challenged by weaker competitors. Chance in this field so include in exotics.
