Marseille Vivaux Race 7 - Romarin Handicap
CHOP VAL (7) Ran 7th last run at Cagnessurmer. Expecting improvement and has minimal work to do from the draw. Looks promising in this race. ABSOLUTE (8) Came in 7th last time at Cagnessurmer. Can make a comeback and has a good draw. First start for a new trainer and goes down in weight. Suitably placed in this race. SILVER ARROW (5) Landed the spoils when winning last run at Cagnessurmer and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Has the ability to take this out. BLANC BLEU (9) Was ordinary when 8th last start here. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Up to these.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 2nd of 8 at this track on December 21 over 1500m, 3 len behind Dubalaa carrying 59kg at $21. Second-up raced on the pace before fading 10th of 15 at Cagnes-sur-Mer on January 19 over 1500m, slow going 8 len behind Colonel Mitch with 54.5kg at $31. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
