Le Mans Race 7 - Prix Jean Couturie Stakes
NARCO D'AINAY (3) produced a fair run first up when 5L from the winner finishing third over 2500m at St Malo three weeks ago. Rider and trainer in fine form. Looks the one to beat. NEUF FOIS SUR DIX (2) comes from the Francois Nicolle stable who place their youngsters well. Clear promise across two outings to date including a 1.5L third over this journey at Senonnes latest. Chief threat. NO BED OF ROSES (6) was always prominent and battled on for a 3L second on racecourse debut over 2400m back in April. Likely contender. NINETY ROSES (5) finished a 0.5L second in a minor event at Granville (2400m) three weeks ago. Looks next best.

At debut, 3rd of 7 at Saint-Malo on August 18 over 2500m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Nana Au Rhum carrying 63.5kg at $5.60. Will derive great benefit from that experience and looks a great chance to break through.
