Fontainebleau Race 3 - Du Bois Rond Claiming Hurdle
SILVER DES CARRES (1) appeared to appreciate the drop to claiming company in securing a 0.75L victory over 3200m at Compiegne. Selected to follow up. ROI DANAOS (3) debuted with a promising 3.25L third competing in the previously mentioned Compiegne event. Expected to deliver a big effort. NEIL DU SEUIL (2) came home 33L fourth in that Compiegne claiming hurdle. Shortlisted with a step forward expected on the second start of his career. Montmartre gelding COUSIN BLEU (7) showed up well racing from the front before fading in finishing 21L eighth over 3500m at Nantes on his first start. Notable contender.

Third race start today. When well supported at debut, finished ninth of 11 starters at Compiegne on March 2 over 3200m, 20 len behind Rare Et Precieux carrying 67kg at $32. Last start favourite; raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len Compiegne on April 1 over 3200m on rain affected going defeating Mister Rapallo carrying 71kg at $2.40 in a hurdle. Sure to improve again. Ideally placed to keep the ball rolling.

Was well supported at debut, ran on from midfield; finished fourth of 8 starters at Compiegne on April 1 over 3200m, slow track; 33 len behind Silver Des Carres with 67kg at $3.80. Can improve on that effort. Can figure in the finish with that run under the belt.

Having second run back today. First-up after six months finished third of 8 starters at Compiegne on April 1 over 3200m, on slow going 3.5 len behind Silver Des Carres carrying 68kg at $14. Previously second-up finished tenth of 12 runners at Argentan on October 8 over 1900m, on slow going 25 len behind Rosa Mia carrying 58kg at $12. Can improve on first up performance. Handled the transition nicely on that occasion to finish 3.5 lengths away in third in a hurdle (3200m) at Compiegne.

Is second-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start finished sixth of 9 runners at Montlucon-Neris on March 22 over 2300m, 6 len behind Nectar Des Dieux carrying 64kg. Hard to recommend.

Facing the starter for the third time today. At very long odds at debut, finished tenth of 11 runners at Compiegne on March 2 over 3200m, 28 len behind Rare Et Precieux with 67kg at $34. Last start pulled up at Compiegne on April 1 over 3200m. Can strike back here. Worth another chance and cannot be discounted lightly.

Was well supported at debut, didn't do much in the run; finished eighth of 12 starters at Nantes on March 31 over 3500m, slow track; 21 len behind Shostakovich carrying 67kg at $3.70. Had support on debut but ran below expectations. Great chance to atone.

Three-year-old gelding by Almanzor out of Tout En Finesse having his first start today. Making race debut here. Tough to line up and betting is likely to provide the best guide.
