Vichy Race 4 - Prix De Lavoine Mdn Stakes
LAETIBEY (1) aims to turn two placed efforts into a win after finishing second on debut followed by a third in a maiden at Le Lion d'Angers. Expected to challenge. CHANSON DOUCE (6) improved markedly after a tenth tackling a class three contest at Saint-Cloud to running 0.75L second in a course and distance maiden latest. Might go one better. DEFI (3) also progressed having been eleventh on first career appearance to produce a third contesting a maiden at Clairefontaine. Will be thereabouts. SI NOIR (12) is the pick of the debutants. Bred by Sealiway out of Ma Noire and worth giving close consideration.

Last start 3rd of 8 at Le Lion-d'angers on July 24 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind Big Jet Plane with 56kg at $4.10. Shapes as one of the key chances.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 9th of 16 at this track on July 20 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Kristolyx with 56.5kg at $51.70. Better for that run but happy enough to avoid.

Third race start. First start ran last of 11 at Deauville on April 7 over 1000m, 14 len behind Maiakovska carrying 58kg at $37. Returned from break 3rd of 10 at Clairefontaine on July 3 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Bolrol Fal carrying 58kg at $28.90. Fitter and is a leading contender.

Had two starts to date. At long odds at debut, 7th of 12 at Saint-Cloud on June 2 over 1400m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Queen Of The Day carrying 58kg at $42. Second-up 7th of 11 at Clairefontaine on July 3 over 1600m, 8 len behind La Carmen with 58kg at $8.40. Has plenty of upside and is worth including.

Two-year-old colt who is first starter by Sealiway out of Ma Noire. Should run a bold race.
