Longchamp Race 2 - Prix Du Defile Hcp
SIM CARD (3) was beaten a neck over 1800m at Chantilly two starts back before finishing fourth tackling 2800m at Compiegne four days ago. Dropping back in trip sharply should suit. JOYEUSE SAGE (2) won by 2.5L attempting course and distance on latest outing. A 2.5kg rise demands more but she remains a leading contender. INDIAN SUNSET (9) is forgiven for unseating her rider here last time. She was second by 1L contesting 2350m at Strasbourg previously and is proven at 2000m. Makes appeal. NICK BOUTIQUE (7) is a previous track-and-trip winner. His sixth here two starts ago was better than the result after being denied a clear run. Cannot be discounted.
