Lyon La Soie Race 6 - Vieux-Lyon Maiden Stakes - Awt
QUE BELLA (12) faded late on in registering a 7L eighth over 3200m at Chantilly AW on her handicap debut in December. Selected to resume with a win dropping in distance. Wireless gelding DRAGONS BLOOD (5) suffered a nose defeat in placing second in a course and distance maiden. Leading contender. SAKURASAKU (6) recorded a mid-division finish in coming home 4.25L eighth in a 1900m handicap at Deauville AW in December. Strong prospects stepping up in distance. Literato gelding CASCADEO (3) returned to action with a 1.25L second contesting a 2150m maiden at this course. Warrants close consideration.

Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 12 at this track on February 24 over 2150m, 3 len behind Eskandani with 54.5kg at $16. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
