Lisieux

MOON NORMANDY (7) may still be somewhat green but there is no doubting her ability. Facile winner at Mauquenchy on her first start since December, she has been handed a wide draw, but with Gabriele Gelormini reining can nevertheless confirm. MARA DU SAPHIR (3) is better-placed behind the car, and has not raced since last July, but will be first-time barefoot and very easy to like. MELODIE D'AMOUR (9) was full of running when eliminated at Caen and can make amends if Alexandre Abrivard successfully navigates the start. MELITTE DE RIVIERE (5) lost all chance at the start last time out but has otherwise been in excellent shape and, confirmed at the venue, will be expected to play an active role.
