Mauritius Race 5 - 7 1/2f Stakes
MONUMENTAL (1) earns top billing after consecutive nose defeats at this track, the latest in BM61 company when near the top of an open market. He now comes back to BM51 level and his record at this track and distance is a major positive, with two wins and three placings from six attempts. MY ARCHANGEL (2) is the obvious danger after extending his winning run to three, resuming with a length-and-a-half BM46 win as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. The class rise is the test, but his track record and record with Manoel Nunes make him hard to dismiss. ZANTHAR (6) was third behind MY ARCHANGEL last start and gets weight relief, though his low win strike rate keeps him more in the each-way bracket. STATED (3) was plain first-up when fourth behind Grand Bay, but he won in BM56 grade two starts ago and has already beaten MONUMENTAL at this track a couple of months ago.

Has gone within a nose at both runs this campaign, most recently finishing second to Rich Folks Hoax in a BM61 at this track when near the top of an open market. The prior second behind Isikwishikwishi in BM56 grade was just as narrow, so he is holding form strongly. Back to BM51 level and proven at this track and distance, he gets his chance to turn consistency into a win.

Resumed with another professional win at this track, beating National Award by a length and a half in BM46 grade as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. That made it three wins in a row after he had previously beaten Tsunami Warning by two and a half lengths. This is a rise in grade, but his strike rate at this venue and strong record with Manoel Nunes make him a serious winning threat again.

Finished fourth when resuming at this track, beaten just under five lengths by Grand Bay after being well found near the top of betting. He is entitled to come on from that second-up and the run prior was a BM56 win at this venue, where he edged Spirit's Unite. He has also beaten Monumental at this track, so a sharper showing would put him in the minor money mix.

Has been around the mark without threatening to win this season, finishing fourth at this track last start when beaten just over four lengths by Summer Snow at generous odds. Two back he was again fourth, beaten three and a half lengths by Rich Folks Hoax from a bigger price. His track-and-distance record is sound, but he profiles more as a place chance than a genuine winning push.

Finished sixth first-up in a BM56 at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Arbitration after starting at generous odds. His prior run was a fifth behind Rich Folks Hoax in BM61 grade, so the recent form is only fair, despite the return to a suitable track-and-distance scenario. His overall record says he is capable, but he must find more than he showed last time.

Worked into the placings first-up at this track when third behind My Archangel in BM46 grade, beaten just over two lengths and respected near the top of betting. He now gets weight relief from that run, which helps his place prospects, but My Archangel had his measure there and the 1500m record shows placings rather than wins. He appeals as a genuine exotic chance.

Returns from a six-week freshening after being tailed off in BM46 grade at this track, when sent out at long odds behind New World. His previous run was also well held, finishing fourth but beaten over 11 lengths by Brave Bomber. The weight relief is a small help and his broader record is respectable, yet he has to produce a much better race-day effort to threaten.
