Vichy Race 8 - Paray-Le-Monial Handicap
SYLVER SAMBA (3) recorded a 1L victory contesting a 2400m handicap at Salon-de-Provence and is selected to defy a 2kg rise in weights. MOUTRAKI (2) missed by 0.75L finishing fourth over 2500m at Aix-les-Bains. Expected to play a role. PATZESTEVE (5) placed second beaten 1L in the previously mentioned Salon-de-Provence contest. Shortlist. SHAMSABAD (1) faded running 6.5L ninth tackling 2600m at Marseille-Vivaux. Better expected on this occasion.
