Vichy Race 8

Francois De Malherbe Stakes

Stake: $29,235

LANANA DE CHABA (2) followed up a 3L triumph in a 2400m event at Craon with a 3.25L fifth attempting 2700m at Les Sables-d'Olonne. Can return to winning ways. LUCKY PRINCE (3) rates highly following a 5L fourth contesting a 2400m conditions race at Rochefort-sur-Loire. LIBERTY FLY (1) looks a major threat down in grade after running 9.25L eighth in the 2400m G3 Prix de l'Union des AQPS du Centre-Est at this course. LALFA D'AIRY (4) gets a chance to shine on the back of a 1L fourth over 2400m at Vittel.
