Cagnes Sur Mer Race 2

La Mer Maiden Stakes

Stake: $41,359

Hello Youmzain colt GRASWANG (4) performed well in delivering a 3.75L third over 2150m on turf at this track. Selected to break through for his first win returning to the AW. HERCULE STAR (2) looks capable of delivering a big effort following a 2.25L third in a similar race to this over course and distance. SUNDARA (7) debuted with a promising 1.75L fourth in a 2000m newcomers event at this circuit. Bold show expected. Waldgeist colt ARMANO (6) debuted with an 8.25L fifth competing in a track and trip newcomers race. Represents a top yard and can't be dismissed racing in cheekpieces for the first time.

Was well-supported at debut, 5th of 13 at this track on January 15 over 2000m, 8 len behind Frankish with 58kg at $2.90. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.
