Pau Race 8 - D'espelette Maiden Stakes - Awt
MISSES LILY (11) Gutaifan 3yo trained by K Tavares (S) having first start and drawn the rails. Jockey Antoine Werle is an asset. Watch early betting. TWO NIJINSKY CEN (10) Looked good when 3rd last time around here but will be dropping in distance. Should race on the speed. Looks to be value. AMUSANTE (3) Did well when 2nd last time at this track. Coming to a new trainer. Expect to go close. BOTIKI (5) First up after a 30 week break. Ran well when 2nd last time at San Sebastian and having second race start. Facing a rise in trip. This field suits.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when ran last in a small field at San Sebastian on July 6 over 1200m, 7 len behind Eclair Lane with 56.5kg. Doesn't appeal.

Three-year-old filly (Gutaifan - Goldwings) making her debut. Profiles nicely for this.
