Marseille Vivaux Race 8 - Michel Fructus Maiden Stakes - Awt
HERCULE STAR (3) registered a good 4L third competing in a 2150m maiden on a soft turf track at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Selected to break his maiden at the ninth attempt. BASQUIAT (5) made a highly promising debut when 1.5L fourth over 2150m at Lyon-la-Soie. Expected to play a leading role. TOREBEK (1) raced from off the pace prior to coming home 3.5L third contesting a 2000m claiming event at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Dangerous providing his first start for a new trainer. Chachnak gelding SULLY (2) failed to shine running 15L sixth over 2150m at Cagnes-sur-Mer making his turf debut. Holds claims on earlier AW form.

At debut, 4th of 13 at Lyon-la-Soie on February 24 over 2150m, 1.75 len behind Ti Amo Bello carrying 56kg at $13. Will take a lot from that hitout and is a key runner.

First-starter by Prince Gibraltar out of Daffodil Fields. Worth watching for a betting move.
