Machecoul Race 6 - Prince D'avril Stakes
MIRMILLON (2) debuted with a highly promising 1.5L third in a 3000m event held on a heavy track at Limoges. Selected to break his maiden on his first start of the year. MASCARET DE LOIRE (1) demonstrated improved form in coming home 0.5L second in a 2900m event at Durtal. Expected to play a leading role for a stable who do well in these races. MICAWBER (3) has placed in the top four in four of his five starts to date. Danger to all returning to the flat following a 24L sixth in a 3500m hurdle at Pau. MATCHA DE L'ISLE (4) ended last year with a 3.25L fifth contesting a 2400m event at Saint-Brieuc. One to note.

Resuming after a break; only one run when 3rd of 9 at Limoges on November 29 over 3000m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind My Lady Will carrying 64kg. Could prove too smart for these.
