Was more than 8 lengths adrift of IL CAPO (2) when only 7th of 10 runners on debut at Nemes over 1900m on 18 February. Needs to improve, so best watched for now

Runner-up on debut over 1900m on yielding ground at Nemes but disappointing, although not disgraced, when only 5th over 2600m on PSF at Marseille-Vivaux on 14 March - finished 5 lengths behind GALIGERA (6)

Finished 6th of 7 runners on debut at Marseille-Borely over 2000m on 20 March, although wasn't beaten far despite a slow start. Would have gained plenty with the benefit of that experience - improvement expected

Made no impression on debut when finishing a well-beaten 8th of 11 runners over 2100m on heavy ground at Toulouse on 11 March. Improvement needed

Caught the eye when finishing 3rd on debut over 2150m at Cagnes in February and confirmed that promise with a staying-on 3rd at Toulouse over 2100m on 4 March (both on heavy ground). Will enjoy trip (2400m)

Runner-up on debut over 2600m on PSF but failed to confirm that promise when only 8th of 9 runners over this distance on heavy ground at Saint-Cloud on 26 March. Supplemented to run here, so better is expected

Unplaced in both starts but over shorter distances but open to improvement over this extended trip - 7th of 12 on PSF over 2000m on debut; and 6th of 12 over 1800m (very heavy) at Marseille-Borely on 27 February

Race Overview
LUNA ROCK (5) has shown promise in both outings and, with improvement expected over this extended trip, seems capable of opening her account. GALIGERA (6) failed to confirm the promise of her debut 2nd on the PSF when finishing 8th over this trip on heavy ground at Saint-Cloud last time but cannot be written off just yet and could bounce back to pose a threat. LAVENDIN (3) made a pleasing introduction, despite a tardy start, and would've gained from that experience, so could make his presence felt, along with IL CAPO (2) who has also shown enough to be competitive for the places.
