Dieppe Race 3 - La Valette Maiden Stakes
THE ANGEL KING (1) was 1.5L runner-up debuting at Lyon-Parilly during March. Represents in-form jockey and trainer combination finishing ahead of a subsequent winner. May go one better. UNFOLD (6) improved from a debut eleventh to run seventh at Chantilly second-up. Makes seasonal reappearance and is expected to improve. ANAMALAY (11) holds plenty of racecourse experience. Placed twice in previous two starts including a second at Compiegne three weeks back and racing for a new trainer wears first-time cheekpieces. Dangerous. DROPS OF GOD (12) is a Mehmas colt who makes debut. Warrants thought.

Jumped at big odds at debut, didn't finish the race at Compiegne June 16 over 1400m. Others appeal more heading into this.

Second run back. Comes off a 54-day let-up. First-up after a year 6th of 11 at Vichy on May 14 over 1600m, 5 len behind Dark Summit carrying 58kg at $19. Previously second-up 7th of 10 at Saint-Cloud on June 17 2024 over 1400m, 4 len behind Gondolo with 58kg at $5.90. Expect he'll find this too tough.
