La Capelle Race 5 - Prix De Saint Michel - Attele
MERGINIO (3) appeals as a key chance after finishing 3rd at Le Croise Laroche over 2699m two starts back. MY WAY DE QUELETTE (9) was 3rd at Cagnes Sur Mer over this trip in February and rates among the main hopes. MISTERIOSO (8) is the only last-start winner in the field, scoring at Vire over 2700m last May, but has mixed form since. MYSTERIOUS LOVE (7) placed 2nd at Le Croise Laroche over 2824m last September and has a placing at this track. MARCEL SEVEN (5) was 3rd at Vichy over 2200m last June. Several runners are lightly raced and open to improvement.

First-up after a 91-day break, having last raced at Saint Galmier where he started $4.20 but did not finish. Previous run was 9th of 10 at Reims over 2550m at $31. Yet to place from two starts. Needs to show more but can improve with added fitness.

Resumes after 187 days, having finished 7th of 14 at Vincennes over 2100m last start at $13 behind Mambo Planchette. Previous runs include a 6th at Enghien over 2150m and a 5th at the same track, both on good ground. Yet to place from four starts but draws a better barrier this time. Can improve fresh with the right run.
