Marseille Borely Race 5 - Prix Des Micocouliers Mdn Stakes
NOOR AL AYN (3) recorded his best effort in three starts so far in placing a neck second over this course and distance. Selected to break through for his first victory. Unraced New Bay colt DALEN (6) is a half-brother to multiple winner Dos Mukasan among others. Expected to deliver a big effort debuting for a good stable. ATARA (5) demonstrated plenty of ability in securing a 2L third in an 1800m newcomers event at Lyon-la-Soie on his racecourse debut. Must be considered switched to turf.TROPHY WINNER (2) is another to consider heading into this race on the back of a 2.25L fifth over this track and trip.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 10 at this track on October 17 over 1800m, long-neck behind Romanus Pontifex carrying 58kg at $11. The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Salon-de-Provence on September 25 over 1800m, 4.5 len behind Black Armor with 58.5kg at $8.60. Narrowly missed last start and is a top chance again.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran second last of 12 at Longchamp on October 18 over 1800m, 16 len behind Araki carrying 58kg at $55.10. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

At debut, 3rd of 8 at Lyon-la-Soie on October 21 over 1800m, 2 len behind Spirituelle Agua with 54.5kg at $18.30. Encouraging effort on debut but this might be too tough.
