Lyon Parilly Race 1 - Du Cercle De L'Union Claiming Stakes
LEPARD (1) faded late running 6.5L second over 2000m at Nancy. Selected to go one better and register his tenth success of the year. LA SAUZEE (6) looks capable of challenging following a 4L third competing in a 2200m conditions event at Fontainebleau. OLYA (7) showed up well prior to fading when running 9.25L seventh contesting a 2100m claiming handicap at Longchamp. Strong prospects with a top jockey booked to ride. MUNGASHA (2) raced prominently prior to recording a 5.25L fourth tackling 1800m among claiming handicap company at Salon-de-Provence making his penultimate start. One worth noting.
