Lyon La Soie Race 5 - Francois De St Laumer Maiden Stakes - Awt
Siyouni filly COCO VANILLE (4) is taken to deliver the first win of her career following a 5L fourth in a 1900m event at Deauville AW. A change of tactics saw LOVING QUEEN (6) race from off the pace prior to coming home 1L third contesting a similar race to this over course and distance. Expected to challenge for the win. I AM MAELIA (5) delivered her best effort to date in placing 2.25L third over 1800m at this venue. Strong prospects. Soldier Hollow colt WALERICO (3) debuted with a 7.75L fifth over 1500m at Cologne in October. Notable contender with improvement expected stepping up in distance.

Second run back. First-up after two months 3rd of 13 at this track on February 24 over 2150m, 1.2 len behind Ti Amo Bello carrying 56.5kg at $87. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on October 29 over 1408m, 4.5 len behind Valdorcia with 58kg at $7. Fitter but facing a tougher assignment and isn't among the top hopes today.

First-starter by Dabirsim out of Caledonie. Tough to line up. Should kick off on the right note.
