Le Lion Dangers Race 8 - Prix De Cloture De La Saison 2026 Mdn Stakes
MATIA (2) has recorded two runner-up finishes in last three starts including placing second in a course and distance maiden on most recent appearance. Could feature once again. ABERDEEN (5) represents notable connections. Missed out on the frame when fourth on debut in a maiden at Vichy attempting today's journey. Likely improver and will be thereabouts racing second-up. SOLE (8) placed third on first career appearance in an unraced maiden at Deauville before finishing fourth at Clairefontaine last month. Can bounce back. MARTINELLI (7) is not ruled out after placing second in a 1600m maiden at Saint-Malo.

Most recently 6th of 12 at Clairefontaine on August 10 over 1400m, 5 len behind Aksakova with 60kg at $4.10. The run before that 2nd of 13 at this track on July 24 over 1400m, nose behind Dollar Des Bois with 60kg at $8.20. Certainly worth another chance.
