Mont De Marsan Race 2 - Criterium D' Ete Stakes
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (4) won by a head attempting a 2100m event at Tarbes. Stablemate MORFALOU (2) debuted with a head win over 2100m at Dax. Expected to play a role. CHARLIE DE LA BRUNIE (3) placed second beaten a head in the previously mentioned Tarbes race. Rates a major threat against this field. FANTASTIQUE (6) recorded a 3.5L fourth debuting in a 2100m contest at Dax. One to note.
