Longchamp Race 6 - Prix Du Montparnasse Claiming Stakes
VICTORIA SECRET (5) can return to winning ways. Scored over 2000m at Nancy by a head in May and showed promise when only beaten 3L at Compiegne last time out. Rates a main player on the best of her form. Strong fancy. CATHERINE LA MER (7) disappointed in latest. May step forward from that last-place finish at Baden-Baden as better judged on the 1.75L Lyon third attempting 2000m before that. MEFIE TOI (1) could go back-to-back. Narrow winner tackling 1600m at this track last month while running well for a while. One of the main dangers. COUNTRY CLUB (8) produced a good third trying 2000m at Compiegne last month. Might be competitive once again.

Recent form sound. At the latest run won by a long-neck at this track June 15 over 1600m defeating Westminster Coyote with 55.5kg at $6.30. The run before that 3rd of 7 at this track on June 4 over 2000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Hercule Star carrying 54kg at $2.50. Rises significantly in weight but still holds plenty of appeal.

Second run back. First-up after three months ran second last of 9 at Compiegne on June 5 over 2000m, 8 len behind Blackclover carrying 57kg at $92. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len at Montlucon-Neris March 22 over 2300m defeating Alma Fever with 64kg. Didn't do enough first up to raise hopes.

Third race start. Won on debut won by 2 len at Cavaillon March 1 over 1600m in soft going defeating Marie La Croix with 53kg. Went for a spell before returning ran last of 7 at Lyon-Parilly on June 13 over 1600m, 14 len behind Saint Arnoult with 57.5kg at $17. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.
