Le Croise Laroc Race 8 - Gabriel Thieffry Claiming Stakes
LA SAUZEE (4) impressed securing a 2.5L victory contesting a 2000m claiming handicap at Lyon-Parilly. Selected to complete a double debuting for a new trainer. JOEY UP (1) won twice this year including by a head attempting a course and distance claiming handicap. Expected to challenge. HAPPY HUNTER (2) came home 2.5L clear of his nearest rival trying 1900m at Argentan making his penultimate appearance. Strong prospects providing his first start at this track. A maiden winner at Pornichet three starts back WESTMINSTER PILOT (3) enters calculations despite disappointing in turf handicap races both subsequent outings.

Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at Lyon-Parilly May 8 over 2000m on a soft track defeating Morsan carrying 53kg at $3.80. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Fontainebleau on April 11 over 2200m, 4 len behind Rio with 55.5kg at $5. Back in form and looks one of the chances.
