Vincennes Race 8

Prix Circinus - Monte

Stake: $80,851

A quality colt with a bright future ahead of him, MARIO DE LA VALLEE (6) routed the opposition on his Vincennes debut early last month and even over this shorter trip will still take all the beating. MARVELOUS (8) boasts a 75 percent monte win-rate, won better here late last month than the result would suggest, and should prove the principal danger. From the same breeder as Guillaume Martin's colt, MAMBO DE LA VALLEE (7) is never far from losing his action, but has previously won for Eric Raffin, and with application can figure prominently.
