Le Mans Race 4 - Prix Claude Brosseau Stakes
LACRA (7) made a winning start when taking a 2400m maiden at Le Lion d'Angers by 0.75L a month ago. Taking on vastly better opposition here but worthy of plenty of respect. EBIYAR (2) represents top connections. Has come up frustratingly short on last three occasions as favourite in Class 2 contests. Raised in journey here. Obvious contender. SUMACO (3) finished 1.75L behind EBIYAR (2) upon their clash at Clairefontaine (2400m) last month. Stamina proven after landing a 3000m maiden previously. Sure to feature. BLACK MOR (4) recorded a debut success over 2400m 39 days ago. Can play a major role.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fourth of 7 at Le Lion-d'angers May 14 over 2000m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Lady Mara with 57kg at $7.50. On debut second of 12 at Cagnes-sur-Mer February 4 over 2150m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Astira carrying 56kg at $12. Deserves plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 35-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Clairefontaine on August 7 over 2400m, slow going 0.6 len behind Now For Glory with 57kg at $2.30. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Longchamp on July 9 over 2000m, 0.6 len behind Sharpshoot with 57.5kg at $1.80. One of the prime contenders.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Last start 5th of 7 at Clairefontaine on August 7 over 2400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Now For Glory with 57kg at $3.40. The start before that won by 2.5 len at Dieppe on June 6 over 3000m on a soft track defeating Story Way with 58kg at $1.80. Encouraging effort last start. Likely to feature again.

Was at a huge quote at debut, won came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Clairefontaine on August 3 over 2400m on a rain affected track defeating Kermadec carrying 58.5kg at $62.30. Shows promise and should measure up again.

Had two starts to date. At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Pompadour on June 28 over 2600m, 9 len behind Nairobi Delabrunie carrying 59.5kg. Second-up won by 30 len at Pompadour on August 15 over 2600m defeating Dijon with 61.5kg. This looks a stern test.
