Nantes Race 1 - Vermout Mdn Stakes
VALENTIA (7) debuted with a good 2.75L fourth attempting an 1800m newcomers event at Fontainebleau in November. Selected to make a winning seasonal debut racing in a tongue tie for the first time. POWDER (1) placed second both starts to date including when losing out by 1L over 2650m at Chateaubriant. Major threat dropping in distance. SILVAROLE FAL (8) suffered a narrow defeat placing second contesting a 2100m maiden at Savenay. Strong prospects. Siyouni gelding GALASSI (5) came home 6.5L sixth trying 2400m at Dieppe on his first start. Of note with a step forward expected racing for a top owner breeder.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when ran second last of 10 at Pornichet on December 28 over 1700m, 15 len behind Opensola Fal with 56kg at $45. Has to lift substantially to make an impression.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, got back early 9th of 12 at Chateaubriant on May 24 over 2650m, slow going 16 len behind Baboshka carrying 56.5kg at $57. Don't think he will trouble this field.
