Nantes Race 1 - Bois Joly Stakes
City Light colt MOODS (1) debuted with a promising 2.5L fourth tackling 1100m in a newcomers event at Le Mans. Selected to build on that effort with a victory. Dark Angel newcomer OBSCURE (11) is a half-brother to the Listed-placed Focus. Expected to deliver a big effort making his first start for top connections. Unraced Kingman filly YUQUOT (12) represents the same owner and breeder. Strong claims of making the perfect start to her career. Thunder Moon gelding SYDNEY MOON (5) is the first foal of a mare who won twice from five starts. Notable contender for a stable who produce their share of juvenile winners.

Jumped at long odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Saint-Cloud on March 24 over 900m, 13 len behind Say Squirrel with 56.5kg at $42. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 10 at Saint-Cloud on May 1 over 1200m, 27 len behind Vignelli with 56.5kg at $80. Can't see him playing much of a role.
