Lyon Parilly Race 1 - Prix Gilles Denis Stakes
CHEERIO (2) aims to remain unbeaten and land a career hat-trick. Was off the mark at the first time of asking at Le Mans before winning by 1.5L at Le Touquet last month. Harder here but major player. AITUTAKI (4) placed third on first career appearance at Clairefontaine before improving to win by 1.25L contesting a maiden at Vichy attempting this journey last time out. Can make it back to back successes. SPIRIT OF ZARAK (5) came out on top in a maiden at Saint-Cloud tackling this trip narrowly by a head back in April. Expected to challenge following a break. SACRIFICE (1) is not left out after breaking his maiden at Dieppe.

At only start last preparation ran second last of 8 at Saint-Cloud on March 15 over 2000m, on a wet track; 10 len behind Zaramix carrying 58kg at $5.90. Back in great order and is one of the chances.
