Vichy Race 2 - Prix De Montaigu-Le-Blin Claiming Stakes
USER KINDLY (2) Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Aix Les Bains but bit of extra work to do with more weight. Cristian Demuro is a suitable booking. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. ZAMNESIA (4) Placed 2nd last time at Aix Les Bains. Expect to go close. ODIN NORMANDY (1) First up and nice run when 2nd first up last preparation at Saint Malo. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. Deserves consideration. CAPMAN FAL (3) Well beaten when 6th last run at Aix Les Bains and will have to carry more weight. Might be ridden for luck. Solid place bet prospects.

Second-up. First-up after eight months 2nd of 8 at Aix-les-Bains on July 14 over 2500m, 3 len behind Mykiss carrying 55kg. Previously second-up eased back early on 7th of 11 at this track on August 4 over 3000m, 3 len behind Al Habisset with 58.5kg at $9.80. Strips fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
