Longchamp Race 1 - Du Vertbois Stakes
DENNIS THE MENACE (3) placed second both starts this year including when losing out by 0.75L over 1800m at Le Croise-Laroche. Selected to break his maiden at the fifth attempt. MIA LOT (5) is expected to challenge for the win after managing a 1.75L third on good ground at Angers. VASUMATI (10) followed up a Machecoul maiden success with a 2L fourth in the previously mentioned Angers race. Strong claims of returning to winning ways. SENA IULIA (2) was a maiden winner at Pornichet in December and resumed with a 6.5L seventh contesting a 1400m conditions event at Le Mans. Step forward expected up in distance.

At the latest run 13th of 15 at this track on May 21 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Pas Dansant with 55.5kg at $16. Before that won by 2 len at Nancy April 26 over 1400m in soft going defeating Soraya with 56.5kg. Certainly worth another chance.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 10 at Angers on May 2 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Deal carrying 53kg at $24. Before that won by a long-neck at Machecoul April 6 over 1650m in soft going defeating Upbeat Spirit with 55.5kg. Has been racing well. Better than the last run suggests and can do better.
