Le Lion Dangers Race 2 - Vern D'Anjou Maiden Stakes
SHALIMAR (6) made a promising debut delivering a 5.25L third competing in a 2400m maiden at Nantes. Selected to break her maiden with the runner-up that day winning subsequently. EXCLUSIVE RED (3) lost out by 2L placing second over 2350m at Machecoul in February. Leading contender with form of that event working out well. AVALON (2) stepped up on his debut effort placing a nose second tackling 2850m at Sable-sur-Sarthe. Strong prospects. The experienced LADY FRANCA ROSA (9) produced her best effort to date managing a 4.25L third contesting a 2000m maiden at Strasbourg. Of note stepping up in distance.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, second last of 13 at Le Mans on March 4 over 1950m, 40 len behind Alpenveilchen with 56kg at $35. Last start 4th of 7 at Nort-sur-Erdre on April 5 over 2500m, 6 len behind Figma with 56.5kg. Taking on a better field but she is capable of running a bold race.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, ran last of 9 at Chantilly All Weather on March 3 over 1900m, 18 len behind The Last Dance carrying 58kg at $59. Last start second last of 10 at Le Mans on March 20 over 1950m, slow going 23 len behind Ivra Chope carrying 53kg at $34. Doesn't look one of the major players.
