Le Croise Laroc Race 1 - Hughes Delloye Stakes
EMPRESS OF LIGHT (3) built on a promising Bordeaux debut securing a 1L victory tackling 1800m in a maiden at Langon-Libourne. Selected to complete a double. DENNIS THE MENACE (2) showed up well running a head second in a 1600m maiden at Le Mans. Expected to play a leading role. LIMPIDE (1) suffered a 3.5L defeat finishing fourth over 1400m at Le Mans on her penultimate start. Strong prospects following a mid-division performance at Saint-Cloud subsequently. KYTHIRA (8) managed to take a step forward registering a 2.75L fifth in a 1600m maiden at La Teste making her seasonal reappearance. Of note in this event.

Last start 7th of 14 at Saint-Cloud on May 5 over 1600m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Charly with 57kg at $33. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Le Mans on April 21 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Trinquette carrying 55.5kg at $14. Certainly worth another chance.
