Toulouse Race 5 - Prix Pierre De Castelbajac Claiming Hcp
Veteran ARGYRON (3) suffered a 1.5L defeat placing second contesting a 2500m claiming event at Jarnac. Selected to go one better and secure the fifteenth triumph of his career. Winning that Jarnac claimer SECULIER (6) rates a major threat following a 6L seventh in a 2400m handicap at Bordeaux subsequently. Vol de Nuit filly BELLE DE CLHOE (2) has been off the track since pulling up over 2200m at Montauban in June. Strong prospects on her earlier form. Kamsin mare ALGECIRAS (4) recorded a 14L sixth trying 2350m at Strasbourg. Warrants close consideration making her first appearance at this venue.

Last start 7th of 16 at Bordeaux on October 20 over 2400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Al Alaali carrying 52.5kg at $22.40. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Jarnac on October 11 over 2500m defeating Argyron carrying 54.5kg. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
