Black-Type Analysis: Supplemented Special Wood Leads Listed Field at Lyon Parilly

[Wandering Eyes]

Tuesday, Lyon Parilly, France, post time: 14:12, CRITERIUM DE LYON-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 8fT

Field: Mefie Toi (Fr) (De Treville {GB}), Siciliano (Fr) (Time Test {GB}), Special Wood (Fr) (Wooded {Ire}), Kiss Melody (Ire) (Almanzor {Fr}), Family Secret (GB) (Victor Ludorum {GB}), Baklawa (Fr) (Stunning Spirit {GB}), Here I Bow (Fr) (Bow Creek {Ire}), Ozone (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}).

TDN Verdict: Craig Bernick's supplementary entry Special Wood heads into this stakes debut with a two-for-two record and was last seen downing Saturday's Listed Criterium de l'Ouest short-head runner-up Zambezi in the second of two starts at Vichy. She is one of three undefeated entries and dangers include Alain and Gerard Wertheimer's Ozone, who notched an impressive debut triumph tackling 7 1/2 furlongs at Saint-Cloud in July, and Gerald Mosse trainee Kiss Melody, who opened with a win over the same trip at Deauville last month. Remi Fradet contender Baklawa was two lengths adrift of Special Wood when the pair met in July and has since shed maiden status in style at La Teste. This open edition also features the dual scorers Mefie Toi and Siciliano, while Francis Graffard saddles the once-raced Family Secret, who ran third in Deauville's €160,000 Arqana Series des Pouliches last month.
