Dieppe Race 2 - Prix Montaval Stakes
COMMANDER TUNG (4) impressed in delivering a frontrunning 2L success over track and trip on debut. Taken to maintain his unbeaten record. VALENTIA (6) returned to action with a 0.75L victory competing over 2400m in maiden company at Nantes. Leading contender. MARIA APOLLONIA (5) is the winner of two of her last three starts including by 0.5L contesting a 2400m handicap at Lyon-Parilly. Must be considered making her first appearance at this venue. LOS MARINOS (2) made the perfect start to his career in debuting with a nose success in a 1900m newcomers race at Deauville AW in December. One to note.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 11th of 14 at Argentan on June 10 over 2500m, 18 len behind Tickea carrying 56kg at $110. Second-up ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Cholet June 30 over 2950m defeating Purple Bay carrying 58.5kg at $29.80. Will prove tough to beat.

Racing well recently. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.5 len at Lyon-Parilly June 22 over 2400m defeating Soft Dream carrying 62kg at $4.70. The race before that led but faded 2nd of 7 at Longchamp on June 4 over 2000m, slow going 2.5 len behind Hercule Star carrying 54.5kg at $3.60. Big chance to make it back-to-back successes.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th of 10 at Fontainebleau on November 22 over 1800m, slow going 3 len behind La Zarra with 58kg at $6.60. Went for a spell before returning favourite; won by 0.8 len at Nantes June 16 over 2400m defeating Galassi with 57kg at $2.70. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
