Salon De Provence Race 7 - Fos-Sur-Mer Claiming Stakes
CHARMING CAT (1) came home 2.5L fifth over 1200m at Marseille-Borely. Selected to register the third win of his career. AMELIA (4) placed third beaten 5.5L tackling 1100m in a claiming race at this track. Bold show expected. ST LUNAIRE (2) enters calculations racing in cheekpieces for the first time following a 7L fourth in that claiming race. The application of blinkers may sharpen FIRSTAU CHOPE (5) who recorded a 7L fourth attempting 1200m at Lyon-Parilly last time.
