Marseille Borely Race 2 - P. Maurel Stakes
COSMIC BOY (6) built on a promising second place finish on debut in delivering a 1.75L victory over 1600m at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Taken to follow up on his turf debut. FRENCH COLORADO (2) lost out by a head contesting a 2000m conditions event at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Rates a major threat switched to turf. Successful at Pau as a two-year-old CARCAGNY (7) looks well placed to shine following a 1L third in a 2000m conditions event at the same circuit. SAHIMAA (8) is improving with racing breaking through for her first win in racing from the front prior to scoring by a nose in an 1800m maiden at Lyon-la-Soie. One to note.

Last start gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather on February 21 over 2000m, head behind Hatanka Fal with 57kg at $8.30. The race before that sat on the pace before fading to run last of 7 at Cagnes-sur-Mer on January 24 over 2150m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Martagny carrying 57kg at $15. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.

Second-up. First-up after two months sat on the pace before fading second last of 9 at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather on February 21 over 2000m, 7 len behind Hatanka Fal carrying 57kg at $7.30.
