Tarbes Race 2 - Alain Lequeux Maiden Stakes
Earthlight colt VIOLET LEDUC (1) raced from the front prior to losing out by 0.5L placing second over 1600m at Bordeaux. Selected to break his maiden at the third attempt. ORYA (9) performed well debuting with a 5.5L third tackling 1800m in a newcomers contest at Salon-de-Provence. Expected to challenge. The experienced CIAO NENE (4) gets a chance to deliver another big effort following a 2.5L fifth competing in the previously mentioned Bordeaux race. A stablemate of the top pick LONELY ROAD (11) is a Pinatubo filly out of a mare who won on the flat in the UK. Of note with a tongue tie worn on debut.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 9 at Bordeaux on April 11 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Alhama River carrying 58kg at $4.60. The race before that 3rd of 8 at La Teste De Buch on March 21 over 1600m, slow going 0.8 len behind Andeol with 58kg at $12. Should be right in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 5th of 7 at Agen on April 26 over 1200m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Idole Du Fraisse with 56.5kg. Previously second-up 8th of 13 at Bordeaux on October 14 over 1600m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Valtrada with 58kg at $8.20. Fitter and is a genuine hope.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start second last of 12 at Bordeaux on April 11 over 1600m, 19 len behind Arbus with 58kg at $59. Before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Marseille Vivaux on March 9 over 2000m, 4 len behind Adiccion with 56.5kg at $10. Makes no appeal.
