Marseille Borely Race 5 - Belle De Mai Handicap
SPIRIT GREY (5) caught the eye placing a head second racing from off the pace over course and distance. Selected to go one better. A winner at this venue in the past PIERRE LE GRAND (1) is expected to deliver a big effort switching to turf following a neck second in a 1900m handicap at Chantilly AW. COPAN (2) left a Cagnes-sur-Mer tenth behind him registering a 0.75L second contesting a 1400m handicap at Fontainebleau. Strong claims of doubling his career tally. Dropping in distance RABBAH (6) is another to consider having finished 0.75L second trying 2200m competing in a conditions race at Cavaillon.
