Mauritius Race 5 - 7 1/2f Stakes
BLUE BAY (3) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to score by 0.9 lengths over 1450m at this track. Will prove tough to hold out again. MENELAUS (4) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SPELLING BEE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1450m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TYRION LANNISTER (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1365m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
