La Teste De Buch Race 6 - Prix Compagnie Fiduciaire (Px L'ecurie De Territoire La Teste) Stakes
BALAKIREV (1) aims to remain unbeaten after getting off the mark at the first time of asking winning a Dieppe maiden scoring by 1.75L attempting this journey today. Hails from an in-form stable. Major player. VARDIF (2) is stablemate to the top pick. Last success came 14 months ago. Finished ninth in the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere last season before returning and finishing sixth at Le Lion d'Angers last month. Improvement expected. CLEA CHOPE (10) represents a new trainer on the back of finishing ninth in the Listed Prix La Camargo at Saint-Cloud. Interesting after a break. MR LOPE CEN (9) is not ruled out after placing second here last time.
