Nantes Race 7 - Prix De La Magnoliere Claiming Stakes
KING OF EYLAU (6) recorded the third triumph of her career winning by 1.5L over 2600m on the beach at Plestin-les-Greves in early July. Selected to return from a break with a victory. ELMA DE CHAMBIERS (4) raced prominently prior to debuting with a 1L success beating a subsequent winner in a 2900m event at Royan. Expected to produce a big effort. TEARDROP EXPLODES (1) gets a chance to shine switching to a claiming race having finished 11L eighth trying 2500m at Saint-Cloud. VERSION D'AMOUR (2) demonstrated ability managing a 7.25L fourth contesting a 3400m maiden at Les Sables-d'Olonne on debut. Notable contender.

At the latest run 8th of 16 at Saint-Cloud on October 25 over 2500m, 11 len behind Marinaleda with 54.5kg at $66. The run before that from last on the turn ran second last of 10 at Longchamp on October 13 over 1950m, 2.5 len behind Get Set carrying 52kg at $15.20. Certainly worth another chance.

At debut, won tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at Royan La Palmyre on September 19 over 2900m defeating Milady St Georges carrying 62.5kg. Will take a lot from that run and is sure to play a big role.

Second run back. First-up after six months didn't finish the race at Saint Brieuc October 25 over 3600m. Previously second-up 3rd of 14 at Saint Brieuc on March 1 over 3100m, in the wet; 13 len behind Murmure D Etoile carrying 66kg. Does not seem to have a lot of upside.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign by 1.5 len Plestin-les-Grèves July 5 over 2600m defeating Menlink Du Chabois with 58.5kg. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 3.5 len win. Savenay May 3 over 2600m defeating Serenissimus carrying 56.5kg. Very keen on his prospects while fresh.
