La Teste De Buch Race 2 - Signarama Stakes
KOVEL (4) Did well when 2nd last run at Bordeaux Le Bouscat and has minimal work to do from the draw. J C Rouget stable are in good form of late. No surprise to see a win. LE MATELOT (1) Narrowly clinched the victory last start at Bordeaux Le Bouscat and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Displays good tactical speed. Been in the money multiple times this preparation. Suitably placed in this race. CHICA DE CIUDAD (3) Finished 5th last run at Longchamp. Should improve here. Likely to settle back in the field. Solid place bet prospects. APAX (5) Came in 5th last time at Longchamp. Expected to rebound and gets a favourable draw. One of the hopes.
