Le Croise Laroc Race 8 - De La Vieille Bourse Stakes
Too Darn Hot filly POETESSA (6) made the perfect start to her career in debuting with a 3.5L success over this course and distance. Looks capable of following up. TABEO (1) backed up a win at Nancy with a 1.5L fourth in an 1800m conditions race at Lyon-la-Soie in December. Expected to challenge for the win on his seasonal debut. LIMPIDE (4) resumed with a 0.75L success competing over 1400m in claiming company at Chantilly AW. Shortlisted debuting for a new trainer. QUEEN MEKHTAAL (2) followed up an impressive Cagnes-sur-Mer win with a 7.5L fifth over 1600m at Toulouse. Notable contender stepping up in distance.

Comes off a 34 day let-up. At the latest run second last in a small field at Toulouse on March 1 over 1600m, 7 len behind Vaticana with 55.5kg at $3.90. Before that scored a big 5.5 len win at Cagnes-sur-Mer February 2 over 1500m defeating Mexicana with 58kg at $10. Better than the last run suggests and is worth including.

Third-up today. Resuming second last in a small field at Cagnes-sur-Mer on February 24 over 2150m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Sweet For Me carrying 58kg at $33. Last start won by 0.8 len at Lyon-Parilly March 15 over 1600m defeating Amirlan carrying 56.5kg at $10. Fitter again but this is a tough assignment.

Getting off the mark on debut; raced right near the speed and boxed on; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track March 20 over 1800m defeating Perfectday with 54.5kg at $6. Better for that run and can go on with it.
