Salon De Provence Race 7 - Jean-Jacques Napoli Stakes
BOOGIE (1) maintained good form of late making the frame past three starts. Selected to return to winning ways following a close third over this distance at Lyon-Parilly. PHILAU (3) gets a chance to produce a big effort following a 4.5L third competing in a 2200m event at San Sebastian on his seasonal reappearance. BAY D'ARGENT (4) finished 8.25L fifth contesting a 1700m conditions race held on very heavy going at Marseille-Borely. Shortlist stepping up in journey. NO BAY (2) failed to shine running last of six trying 2200m at Marseille-Borely. Better expected with blinkers applied for the first time.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming raced on the pace before fading second last of 8 at Marseille-Borely on April 10 over 2000m, 6 len behind Colonel Mitch with 56kg at $18. Second-up second last in a small field at Marseille-Borely on May 6 over 1700m, 8 len behind Colonel Mitch carrying 56kg at $17. Sure to be a major player.
