Longchamp Race 7 - Defense Claiming Stakes
BULLET ANT (1) lost out by a narrow margin in placing second in a 1400m maiden at Niort. Selected to go one better with a top jockey booked to ride. ESPRONCEDA (6) performed well in placing 0.5L second contesting a 2000m claiming event at Marseille-Vivaux. Leading contender dropping in distance. YOHIO (2) recorded a 3.5L third competing over 1200m in maiden company at Agen. Strong claims of breaking through for his first victory. I AM STILL STANDING (4) came home 2.5L third competing over this distance at Angers on her penultimate start. Of note despite disappointing stepped up to 2000m here subsequently.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 36 day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Marseille Vivaux on May 2 over 2000m, 0.5 len behind Valiente with 56kg at $20. The race before that 4th of 7 at Moulins on April 9 over 2400m, slow going 2 len behind Johnny Drive carrying 57.5kg at $3.20. Working up to a win. Worth following.
