Salon De Provence Race 6 - Prix De Vaison-La-Romaine Claiming Stakes
NATURALISTE (13) finished well held at Deauville and has been out of sorts for a while but dropping into a claimer should bring about further improvement and holds strong claims now down in grade. MIXED FORCE (11) makes the return to the track after nine months off and scored by 1L at Lyon-la-Soie in December. Looks to hold leading claims if ready to go after the break. HOUSE OF TUDOR (8) wasn't totally disgraced on debut at Deauville and this is a realistic race to get off the mark. SPACE GOOD (3) rather lost his way in recent efforts but could go well if the market speaks in his favour down in grade.

Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently ran second last of 10 at Vichy on August 15 over 2000m, slow going 16 len behind Jojo Fantaisie with 62.5kg at $8.40. The start before that 11th of 13 at Vichy on July 24 over 1600m, 55 len behind With Love Grace carrying 58.5kg at $8.90. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
