Longchamp Race 3 - De Bellechasse Claiming Stakes
MAGDA (6) performed well racing from the front prior to coming home 1L fourth over 2000m at Pau making his penultimate start. Selected to record a win dropping to a claimer having finished eighth at La Teste subsequently. RISING WATER (1) rates a major threat on the back of a 2L third competing in a 2000m claiming event at Fontainebleau. VICTORIA SECRET (8) completed a double securing a 1L victory in the previously mentioned Fontainebleau race. Bold show expected. I AM STILL STANDING (10) placed third in her last two starts including when suffering a 2.5L defeat attempting 1600m at Angers. One to note stepping up in distance.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 at Fontainebleau on March 31 over 2000m, slow going 2 len behind Victoria Secret with 56.5kg at $7.60. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Le Mans on March 20 over 2300m, slow going 9 len behind Sweet For Me with 55.5kg at $10. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Comes here off a 38-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 15 at Chantilly All Weather on March 30 over 1900m, 10 len behind Tonnant with 55kg at $75. The race before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 12 at Fontainebleau on February 28 over 2200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Salitos with 58kg at $65. Expect a better showing this time around.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently eased back early on 8th of 10 at La Teste De Buch on April 1 over 1900m, 8 len behind Chill Y Flama with 57kg at $30. The run before that second last in a small field at Pau All Weather on February 20 over 2000m, 1.2 len behind Madridista with 57kg at $9.70. Better than that last run suggests.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 37 day let-up. Last start won by 1.0 len at Fontainebleau March 31 over 2000m in soft going defeating Damabiah Angel carrying 50.5kg at $8.70. The race before that won by 1.0 len at Fontainebleau March 13 over 1800m on a soft track defeating Ivra Chope carrying 52kg at $8.60. Rates highly and expected to measure up.
