Fontainebleau Race 2

Roseaux Chase

Stake: $56,595

MACARENA DU RIB (2) bids for a hat-trick after a pair of impressive chase victories including when 7L clear beating a future winner in a 3450m claiming chase at Compiegne a month ago. Leading player now upped in level. The promising MATADOR FOREZ (1) scored by 1.75L in a lower class course and distance conditions chase three weeks ago. Respect to follow up. MAMAZARA (5) ran well ten days ago producing a 6L second contesting a 3500m claiming hurdle at Auteuil. Interesting returning to fences. ETXEAN EGINA (6) is two from three after an easy 8.5L success on chase debut at a country track during July. Looks one to note.

Useful filly. Last start to post a big 7 len win. Compiegne on November 11 over 3450m defeating Binisegarra with 68kg at $1.90 in a steeplechase. Run before to post a big 10 len win. Dax on October 19 over 3800m defeating Present Du Berlais carrying 69kg in a steeplechase. It would be brave to go against her.

Useful gelding. Last outing finished third of 8 starters at this track on November 19 over 3600m, on slow going 4.5 len behind Matador Forez carrying 69kg at $2.10. Before that finished second of 9 starters at this track on October 28 over 3600m, on slow going 0.5 len behind Vol Au Vent with 67kg at $26. Must be considered.

Third-up today. Resuming finished fourth of 8 starters at Angers on November 22 over 3700m, slow track; 11 len behind Malessia with 68kg. To post a big 6 len win. Auteuil on November 29 over 3500m on heavy going defeating Mamazara with 69kg at $12 in a hurdle. Looks tested here without improving further.

Last start finished second of 10 starters at Auteuil on November 29 over 3500m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Roman Skies carrying 64kg at $17. Run before finished seventh of 8 runners at Compiegne on November 11 over 3450m, 23 len behind MacArena Du Rib with 65kg at $15. Finds a few better today. Might find this a bit too tough.
