Moulins Race 6 - De Saint-Menoux Claiming Stakes

PAPITO (4) recorded a good effort in coming home 3.5L fourth in a 2000m claiming event at Fontainebleau. Selected to break through for the first win of his career. JOHNNY DRIVE (5) broke his maiden in delivering a 2.5L victory racing from the front contesting a 2400m claiming event at Lyon-la-Soie. Expected to play a leading role. SIMPLYTHEBEST (7) has been running well in defeat this year including placing 3L third in the previously mentioned Lyon-la-Soie claimer. Strong prospects. ESPRONCEDA (2) followed up a Pornichet second with a 1.5L fifth over 1900m at Bordeaux. Warrants close consideration.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 11 at Fontainebleau on March 31 over 2000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Victoria Secret with 56kg at $9.70. The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Lyon-la-Soie on March 11 over 2150m, 3.5 len behind Affection carrying 56kg at $5.50. Can improve on the latest effort and is a key runner.
