Longchamp Race 2 - Melisande Listed Stakes
DISPATCHES (5) completed a double in securing a head success over 2400m at Compiegne on her seasonal reappearance. Taken to register her third win in four starts. AZAMITA (1) followed up a nose second at Saint-Cloud on debut with a 1L triumph in a 2300m maiden at Angers. Bold show expected. ECIJA (2) rates highly dropping in class following a head defeat in placing second in the 1600m Listed Prix des Lilas at Chantilly. MAINTAIN (6) finished third in the 1800m G3 Prix Vanteaux here on her penultimate start recorded a 9.25L tenth in the 1600m G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches subsequently. Notable contender dropping in grade.

At the latest run 2nd of 7 at Le Lion-d'angers on May 14 over 2000m, slow going 0.8 len behind Lady Mara carrying 57kg at $5.40. The race before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Toulouse in the LR PRIX CARAVELLE on April 19 over 2100m, 4 len behind Lapotheose carrying 56kg at $8. This looks too tough.

Second run back. First-up after eight months scored a big 5 len win at Nancy May 20 over 2000m on a rain affected track defeating Rosa Dei Venti carrying 56.5kg at $7. Previously second-up 5th of 10 at Le Mans on October 6 over 1950m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Jour De Coeur with 58kg at $3.80. This is tougher so prefer others.
