Marseille Borely Race 5 - Rove Maiden Stakes
BRIGHT MILLIE (9) raced from the front prior to losing out by 1.5L placing second tackling 1800m in a newcomers race at Salon-de-Provence. Selected to go one better. Stablemate RAQAT (11) is a Golden Horde half-brother to dual winners Rakhim and Rakhman. Expected to play a leading role providing first start. Prince Gibraltar filly AVENUE OF HONOUR (6) rates highly with a step forward expected following a 4.5L sixth trying 2100m at Dax on her racecourse debut. MELODIE ITALIENNE (8) disappointed finishing 8L last of six over 1200m at this venue. Claims on form shown debuting with a fourth here prior.
