Mont De Marsan Race 1

Vorda Maiden Stakes

Stake: $40,572

MERLE (1) missed by 0.75L when runner-up over 1400m at Toulouse. Selected to go one better. MATAKI (3) looks a big threat on form demonstrated when 0.5L second in a 1200m conditions race at Bordeaux on his penultimate start. TINMANDER (2) finished a head second contesting a 1400m claiming race here. Shortlist debuting for a new trainer. AMAZING CHRISTMAS (6) faded late when 4L fifth tackling 1400m at Toulouse. Worth noting.

Last start 3rd of 7 at La Zarzuela on June 21 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Gelinotte carrying 56kg. The start before that 5th of 7 at La Teste De Buch on June 2 over 1200m, 9 len behind Sternle carrying 58kg at $16. Capable of building on that performance and she looks one of the main chances.
