Vichy Race 3

De Divonne-Les-Bains Maiden Stakes

Stake: $40,572

Lope de Vega colt TARADIF (4) is taken to make a winning debut for a top stable. MODELE ABSOLU (1) finished 8.75L fourth in a 1400m maiden at Toulouse. Expected to go well against this field. ARTILLEUR (3) placed third beaten 5L over 1400m debuting at Compiegne. Danger to all. Zelzal colt VASSY (5) is another to consider for a trainer who has plenty of success with his youngsters.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd of 7 at Compiegne on June 21 over 1400m, 5 len behind Kenzel carrying 58.5kg at $5. Shows ability and expected to improve. Better for that experience and looks set to break the maiden status.
