Vichy Race 2 - Prix Marc Pimbonnet (Prix Kenway) Mdn Stakes
Saxon Warrior colt CIAO BELLO (5) debuted with a promising 2.5L second competing in a 1350m conditions event at Lyon-Parilly. Taken to go one better. LUDWIG DER ZWEITE (6) suffered a 2L defeat placing second over 1200m at Marseille-Borely. Leading contender with a top jockey booked to ride. Unraced The Grey Gatsby colt GADZART (13) is a half-brother to a winners Fleur de Baileys and Rubis Gold. Strong claims of making the perfect start to his career. Third trying 1100m in a newcomers race at Chantilly on debut KESKAVIEL (1) is another to note following a 2.5L sixth attempting 1200m at the same venue subsequently.
