Salon De Provence Race 8 - Prix Des Cigales Hcp
I AM MAELIA (4) Resuming after a spell. Got the cash when winning last run at Vichy. First race for a new trainer. Definite claims. JUST FOR MEME (2) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Marseille Vivaux. Looks to be value. HOLD MY DREAMS (3) Got the upper hand late when winning last time at Marseille Vivaux and showing improvement in recent outings. A win wouldn't surprise. TASTEFUL (1) Handy enough when winning last time around here and can save some energy from the draw. Going well this preparation. Can measure up to this company.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at this track on September 14 over 1800m on a soft track defeating Hold My Dreams with 57kg at $3.30. Before that 3rd of 10 at Vichy on August 6 over 1850m, slow going 2 len behind Louiza carrying 57kg at $5.30. Likely to prove hard to hold out.
