Mauritius Race 5 - 7f Stakes
WAR CHARIOT (2) gets the nod on consistency, having placed at his past two starts at this track behind Isikwishikwishi and stayed close enough last time when beaten a length and a half in Middle Stakes company. His record at this track and distance is a major pointer, with two wins and a placing from three attempts, and the move into BM56 grade suits. GRAND BAY (7) is the main danger after a decisive BM51 win at this venue, beating Mauritius Kestrel by just over two lengths, and his track-and-distance figures give him genuine follow-up claims despite the class rise. DARING DASH (1) has not won this season, but his third-up profile and three wins from seven at this track and distance keep him firmly in the minor-winning mix. SALT 'N PEPPA (4) resumes off a plain odds-on fourth, yet his earlier nose win over WAR CHARIOT and strong record with Manoel Nunes make him a legitimate place hope fresh.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a fair fourth in a BM61 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths by Rich Folks Hoax over 1500m at generous odds. His previous fifth in Middle Stakes company was plain, but he is fitter third-up and returns to a BM56 with three wins from seven at this track and distance. That proven profile makes him a sound place prospect rather than a standout win play.

Continues to race consistently, placing twice behind Isikwishikwishi at this track, most recently third in Middle Stakes company when beaten a length and a half after being near the top of betting. He has two wins and a placing from three starts at this track and distance, and his past 12 months read strongly with a top-three finish in all six runs. Back to BM56 grade, he sets the standard.

Was safely held on the quick back-up last week, finishing last in Middle Stakes company over 990m and beaten over 12 lengths at generous odds. He had also finished last the start prior, so the recent form is difficult to recommend. The BM56 grade is easier, but he is unplaced in two tries around this distance and will have to improve sharply to threaten.

Returns from a three-month break after disappointing as a short odds-on favourite at this track, finishing fourth and beaten seven lengths. His run before that reads much better, when he beat War Chariot by a nose at this venue, and Manoel Nunes has won twice from three rides on him. Fresh, he has enough quality to be included in exotics, though the latest run tempers confidence.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth first-up in Middle Stakes company over 990m at this track, beaten three and a half lengths as an outside chance in the betting. The drop to BM56 grade is some assistance, but he has not raced around 1365m before and was unplaced at his only start at this venue. He has to find a stronger finish to worry the main chances.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a sixth in BM51 grade at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Rich Folks Hoax. His previous third behind Secret Passage was more competitive, and the track-and-distance record is excellent with five wins and four placings from twelve attempts. The class rise and recent plain finish leave him with work to do fresh.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a clear BM51 win at this track, beating Mauritius Kestrel by just over two lengths at generous odds. That was a sharp return to form after a fifth over 990m, and his record at this track and distance is reliable, with two wins and four placings from eight starts. The class rise is the query, but he is in form and well placed to challenge again.
