Lignieres Race 4 - Saint-Hilaire-En-Lignieres Stakes
SULLY (2) suffered a 1L defeat in recording a fourth place finish over 1800m at Lyon-la-Soie. Selected to break through for his first win making just his second appearance on turf. KAMIKAZE (1) looks poised to play a leading role on the back of a 0.75L second in a 1950m claiming event at Le Mans. PRINCESS ALICE (4) registered a 6.75L fifth competing in a 2400m claiming race at Lyon-la-Soie. Notable contender dropping back in distance. AUSTRALIAN ROMANCE (7) failed to make an impact racing from off the pace in finishing 9.75L tenth over 2000m at Saint-Cloud. One to note with cheekpieces applied for the first time.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd of 10 at Limoges on March 15 over 2100m, 32 len behind Glenmore carrying 56.5kg. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Pau All Weather on November 13 over 2000m, 6 len behind Madridista carrying 55.5kg at $36. Strips fitter and is a definite top-three hope.
