Angers

Although never far from faulting, MARVELOUS PIYA (5) has bags of ability and goes well right-handed. She got back in the game at Amiens early last month, goes first-time barefoot, and can impose. MARA DU SAPHIR (9) showed her form after being eliminated on comeback last week and, despite the draw, still has the ability to impose. MERRY DE MALABRY (6) also lost her action on re-entry but has no shortage of talent, and Eric Raffin will be determined to set the record straight. MILADY DE LA PIECE (4) would have finished closer at Vincennes in late-February had he kept trotting; she returns to racing shod and, with application, can make amends.
