Lyon Parilly Race 3 - Desir De Mai Maiden Stakes
SWIFT MAGIC (2) raced prominently prior to fading in delivering a 3.5L third over 2000m at Saint-Cloud on debut. Looks capable of breaking his maiden at the second attempt. RIGEL BLUE (3) raced from off the pace prior to registering a 6.25L fourth in a 2200m maiden at Fontainebleau. Expected to deliver another big effort. I AM MAELIA (5) lost out by 1.75L in placing third over 2150m at Lyon-la-Soie. Must be considered on her first turf start since debuting with a sixth here in October. Unraced Japan colt ALTER MEISTER (7) is a half-brother to G2 winner Alter Adler amongst others. Notable contender on debut.

Most recently 10th of 13 at Chantilly All Weather on March 30 over 1900m, 8 len behind Nazgul Blou carrying 60kg at $2.90. The start before that 3rd of 14 at Saint-Cloud on March 5 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Square D'anvers with 60kg at $4.30. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 3rd of 14 at Chantilly All Weather on February 19 over 1900m, 5.5 len behind Grande Baigneuse carrying 58kg at $11. Second-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Bordeaux on March 10 over 1900m, 10 len behind Cracking Good Time carrying 58kg at $5.10. Genuine contender who finds a suitable race.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 33-day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Lyon-la-Soie on March 11 over 2150m, 2 len behind Coco Vanille with 56.5kg at $5.60. The start before that 3rd of 15 at Lyon-la-Soie on February 14 over 1800m, 2.25 len behind La Carriere with 55kg at $17. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.
