Salon De Provence Race 2 - R & E Chastin Hcp
Racing off a low weight EXPLORAR (9) is taken to register the tenth success of his career following a 1.25L third competing in a course and distance handicap. THE DIG (2) built on two good fifth place finishes in delivering a 0.5L victory in the previously mentioned track and trip event. Major threat despite a 2kg rise in the weights. RISKI CHOPE (6) came home 2.75L fifth in a race won by a subsequent scorer over 1350m at Lyon-Parilly. Strong claims of ending a long losing run. GO JOHNNY GO GO GO (7) placed 0.5L second over 1100m at this venue. Notable contender who has won off higher marks in the past.
