La Teste De Buch Race 4 - Prix Andre Belinguier Stakes
MR LOPE CEN (3) recorded a good effort registering a 3.5L fourth in the 1800m G3 Prix de Guiche at Chantilly. Selected to return to winning ways dropping in grade debuting for a new trainer. SAINT ARNOULT (2) doubled his career tally securing a 2.5L victory in a 1600m conditions race at Lyon-Parilly. Expected to play a role in the finish. FARFLIES (4) followed a debut triumph at Strasbourg with a 0.5L third trying 1400m at Le Mans. Dangerous stepping up in distance. PLUTARQUE (1) enters calculations seeking the first turf triumph of his career after managing a 6L third tackling 1900m at Deauville AW.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran last of 9 at Chantilly on April 22 over 1600m, 43 len behind Demah carrying 58kg at $17. Second-up won by 0.8 len at La Roche-Posay June 14 over 1700m defeating Princess Spigao carrying 49.5kg. Fitter again but this might be too rich.
