Vichy Race 2 - Prix Christiane Head Mdn Stakes
VALIKA (6) wasn't without support on debut at Clairefontaine three weeks ago finishing 5L away tackling 1800m. Should attract a similar level of support here and prove hard to beat. MEMORY (1) brings plenty of experience having placed on two of the three starts. Less than 1L away in third at Lyon-Parilly last month and will give a bold sight setting the standard. JAMAICA BAY (9) proved disappointing on debut when only ninth at Clairefontaine in August last year and needs significant improvement to feature. EXISTANT (4) managed fifth at Saint-Cloud on the first run this season and capable of a bold show.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation 5th of 9 at Saint-Cloud on April 24 over 2400m, 8 len behind Baroud with 58kg at $8.50. When resuming last campaign came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 10 at Chantilly All Weather on December 9 over 1900m, 1.3 len behind Just The Two Of Us carrying 54.5kg at $24. Likely to return bigger and better this prep.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 4th of 15 at Marseille-Borely on May 6 over 2000m, 7 len behind Music's Girl with 54.5kg at $36. Last start 4th of 8 at Salon-de-Provence on May 25 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind Study Of Case carrying 58.5kg at $6.30. Not far away latest and could sneak into the finish.

At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Saint-Cloud on July 5 over 2400m, 7 len behind Sorano carrying 55.5kg at $29.30. The race before that 3rd of 10 at Longchamp on May 28 over 1800m, 4 len behind No Turning Back with 58.5kg at $47. Thereabouts but others rate better.
