Le Lion Dangers Race 4 - Prix De La Vez Hcp
MALENA (3) lost out by 0.75L placing second contesting a course and distance maiden. Selected to go one better. PRIORY ROSE (2) is expected to challenge for the win following a head defeat placing second in a 2400m handicap at Vichy. MY HABITUDE (7) registered a good effort when 6L third attempting this journey at Clairefontaine. Strong prospects making his first appearance at the venue. HANAMOUR (4) recorded his best effort in four starts to date securing a head victory racing from the front in a 2300m event at Dinan. Claims despite blinkers worn for the first time that day being left off here.
