This is an event that marks the beginning of the preparation margin Mauritius Derby (Gr.1), expected next month. This championship, followed with great interest each year, will be spread over three rounds. The 4-year-old will address after the Derby Trial, the Guineas before lining up at the start of Derby, which promises to be a spectacular race over 1850m.
The first round will be just as exciting with the starting line some of the best horses of the island in the image of Master Mascus, champion 3-year-old in the last year, and Tandragee, who won the Cup gold at the expense of Ice Axe in 2012.
This year, Master Mascus has raced once by taking the two e behind Seattle Ice in the early season. Since it was primarily driven by the sea and returned to Port Louis almost at his best.
In the absence of a jockey holder with the departure of Gaëtan Faucon, the team says Maingard Master Mascus in Mauritius Joorawon Rye, which can make a return to the foreground because the courier led by Ricky Maingard arises as a leading candidate to victory.
Without doubt, this is Tandragee which represents the biggest threat to Master Mascus Saturday. It has a strong second place behind Tales Of Bravery in Barbé. The short course is not necessarily a problem because it is a horse that is capable of sprinting.
This match between Master Mascus Tandragee and may be mediated by Glitter Star. The resident of the stable Foo Kune showed the nose in his last outing behind Accelero. It continues to grow and it has enough qualities to aim a mention.
Winter Skye, which displays great shape, has a challenger. It was close to the record for the 1365m last time out and this performance can not be neglected even if the horses faces another level this time against the opposition he had dominated two weeks ago .
