Le Touquet Race 7 - Prix Henri Van De Poele Stakes
Lord Kanaloa colt CHEERIO (2) raced prominently prior to debuting with a 2L success contesting a 2300m newcomers event at Le Mans in April. Selected to maintain his unbeaten record. TESTANA (3) debuted with a 0.75L success over 2900m at Molieres. Rates a big threat seeking back-to-back victories. MAGDA (1) recorded a 1L triumph in a 2000m claiming race at Longchamp making his penultimate appearance. Expected to deliver a big effort despite disappointing at Lyon-Parilly subsequently. Zelzal colt ENTLEBUCH (4) suffered a 2.5L defeat finishing runner-up trying 2100m at Vittel. Worth noting in this event.

At debut, won came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Molieres July 5 over 2900m defeating Kluc Martin carrying 60kg. Might find this too rich.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Vittel on July 6 over 2100m, 2.5 len behind Mapaquita carrying 55kg at $12.80. The start before that from last on the turn 4th of 7 at Le Croisé-Laroche on May 17 over 1800m, 3 len behind Kythira with 56kg at $8.50. One of the major players.

Raced two times to date. At debut, 7th of 14 at Dieppe on June 6 over 1800m, slow going 8 len behind Life Study carrying 54.5kg at $22. Last start ran second last of 12 at Clairefontaine on July 6 over 1600m, 7 len behind Freerider with 55kg at $42.30. Hasn't done much to inspire.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Freshened for 47 days. First-up 5th of 13 at Lyon-Parilly on May 23 over 1600m, slow going 5 len behind Stormrider with 59.5kg at $15. Second run from a spell 8th of 16 at Compiegne on June 9 over 1800m, slow going 5 len behind Ti Amo Bello carrying 54kg at $26. Will be improved on the two runs in and could sneak into the finish.

Second-up. First-up after four months sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Clairefontaine on July 11 over 2200m, 5.5 len behind Sagarmatha carrying 58.5kg at $13.50. Previously second-up 9th of 12 at Saint-Cloud on March 24 over 2400m, 15 len behind Calasita with 55.5kg at $12. Rates highly and expected to do much better with that run under her belt.
