Le Mans Race 4 - Prix Adolphe Besnard Mdn Stakes
Camelot filly CARAMEL (10) suffered a 1.5L defeat placing second in a course and distance conditions race. Taken to break her maiden at the fifth attempt. CAMPEONA (8) lost out by a narrow margin placing second trying 2700m at Les Sables-d'Olonne. Leading contender. LIBELA DES BAMBOUS (9) demonstrated plenty of ability debuting with a 6.25L third in the previously mentioned Les Sables-d'Olonne event. Shortlist where the extra distance expected to suit. Magneticjim colt NESTORDELABARRIERE (1) debuted delivering a promising 5.5L fourth competing over 3000m at Craon. Warrants close consideration.
