Machecoul Race 4 - Valixir Maiden Stakes
KENCHAK (3) has displayed potential in four outings including a fair fifth behind a future winner in a 1900m maiden two months ago at Deauville AW. Open to further improvement. Serious player. JO FRANCAIS (6) recorded a good debut second over 1900m Bordeaux. Could bounce back following a disappointing AW run at Pau. Shortlist on stable debut. SARAMO (9) profiles well being a three-year-old by Sottsass and representing the in-form Francis-Henri Graffard stable. Interesting newcomer. MARTIN'S DENUO (8) may feature first up.
