Meslay Du Maine

Much more performant since starting to race barefoot, LORD DE BRION (11) makes his Meslay bow on a hat-trick and looks good enough to pull it off. LEADER BOURBON (14) ran 2nd to him last time out and with Eric Raffin in the bike must be considered a contender. 4th that day, LOUXOR DANICA (8) should again figure prominently, but may first have to defer to LOYAL DU CHOQUEL (9) who won over course and distance mid-August.
