Le Lion Dangers Race 8 - Olivier Bourgeais Handicap
VARESI (5) lost out by a neck placing second over 1950m on very heavy ground at Le Mans. Looks up to making a winning handicap debut. REVEUR (1) faded late registering a 4L fourth contesting a 1700m event at Pornichet. Rates a major threat switching to make his turf debut. Handicap debutant LOVING QUEEN (3) enters calculations with cheekpieces applied for the first time following a 1.5L fourth competing in a course and distance maiden. ANODIAC (6) raced prominently prior to coming home 1.5L clear of his nearest rival tackling 1800m in a maiden at Morlaix on initial seasonal outing. Of note making his first appearance among handicap company.

Third-up today. First-up 4th of 8 at Lyon-la-Soie on March 2 over 1800m, 5 len behind Sahimaa carrying 56.5kg at $10. Second-up 11th of 15 at Chantilly All Weather on March 30 over 1900m, 5.5 len behind Tonnant carrying 54kg at $20. Strips fitter and looks a great chance to break through.

Second run back. First-up after three months sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 13 at Pornichet on March 25 over 2400m, 2.5 len behind Mooney Vision with 58kg at $13. Previously second-up 3rd of 16 at Durtal on December 14 over 2000m, slow going 1.75 len behind La Charmette carrying 58kg. Is a definite threat in this line-up.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 47-day let-up. Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Le Mans on March 4 over 1950m, long-neck behind Xtramour carrying 58kg at $6. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 16 at Pornichet on February 18 over 2100m, 1.3 len behind Reveur with 58kg at $4.30. Looks one of the major players.

Second-up. First-up after four months won by 1.5 len at Morlaix March 29 over 1800m on a rain affected track defeating Kaira with 58kg. Previously second-up 5th of 16 at Durtal on December 14 over 2000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind La Charmette with 58kg. Harder here though and prepared to risk this time.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at Pornichet on March 25 over 1700m, 4.5 len behind Camponanes carrying 55.5kg at $8.90. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather on February 11 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Sundara carrying 56.5kg at $15. Looks hard to beat in this line up.
