La Teste De Buch Race 5 - Bournosienne Hurdle
DESIRE PARADISE (3) managed to take a step forward delivering a neck second in a 3400m event at Dieppe. Selected to go one better and record the first win of her career. A winner at Lyon-Parilly in September AKADAME (2) pulled up contesting a 3600m event at Auteuil making her first start of the year. Expected to challenge. MESSALINA COMBO (5) lost out by 1L recording a fourth place finish at Loudeac making her penultimate start. Strong claims if replicating that effort. MELCASTILLE (1) followed up an impressive 7L success at Mont-de-Marsan with a 2L second competing in a 3600m handicap hurdle at this venue. One to note.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after six months pulled up at Auteuil on April 25 over 3600m. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; finished seventh of 13 starters at Auteuil on November 5 over 3500m, 12 len behind Selma De Vary carrying 66kg at $9.20. Forgive first-up failure. On her best form is sure to prove hard to beat.

Third-up today. First-up finished fourth of 14 runners at Fontainebleau on April 15 over 3550m, slow track; 5 len behind Joyeuse Blue with 66kg at $10. Last start finished second of 12 runners at Dieppe on April 30 over 3400m, slow track; a long-neck behind Goldidame with 67kg at $8.60. Continues to make headway. Capable of going close again here.

Last outing came from midfield; finished sixth of 12 starters at Royan La Palmyre on April 19 over 3500m, 12 len behind Red Coeur D'oroux with 65kg. Before that finished 15th of 16 runners at Mont-de-Marsan on March 12 over 1600m, on a wet track; 32 len behind Hurlevent with 59.5kg at $24. Happy to risk.

Last outing finished fifth of 12 runners at Royan La Palmyre on April 19 over 3500m, 11 len behind Red Coeur D'oroux with 65kg. The start before that; sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished fourth of 12 runners at Loudeac on April 5 over 3400m, 1.1 len behind Shamrock Melody with 67kg. Forward showing expected. Certainly worth including.
