Marseille Borely Race 2 - De Ratonneau Handicap
EXQUISE ITALIENNE (5) faded in the closing stages when 3L third in an 1800m handicap at this track. Selected to break her maiden at the fifth attempt. LE DOC (2) came home 2.5L clear of his nearest rival when taking out the previously mentioned course handicap. Expected to play a hand in the finish. AFFECTION (4) looks well placed to make a big impact on the back of a nose triumph when competing in a 2000m maiden at this track. The consistent MUHAARIA (3) has delivered top four finishes in each of her last four starts. Finds a chance to shine following a 2.5L fourth when competing in a 1700m maiden at this circuit.
