Marseille Borely Race 2 - Prix Via Milano Stakes
BAKLAWA (1) took a step back in the right direction when third in a 1400m contest at Bordeaux two weeks ago and looks the type to do even better with that run under her belt. CLEA CHOPE (6) has been lightly raced in recent times but ran better than the form suggests at Lyon-Parilly last time out. Well worth another chance. COSMIC BOY (4) has returned in decent form this season finishing second twice and holds strong claims in this company. LEVER DE RIDEAU (5) ran with promise in a listed race at Salon-de-Provence last time out and this easing in grade will be a big help. Market confidence would be a plus.

Last start 3rd of 7 at Bordeaux on September 28 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Mijas carrying 58kg at $9.30. Promising galloper. Handy strike-rate and is a key chance.
