Safely away after false start, big run 3 wide down straight and round turn, got to lead on final bend and led into straight but winner came past decisively; fought back from fourth to miss second by inches.

SIERRA follows up at Vibraye


Smartly away as usual, mid-field, came up outside leaders with round to go, accepted trail when one of them wanted to keep lead, pulled out from behind in straight and won by length.

Sierra at Saint Aubin de Elbeuf 21/6 course 6 (badly interfered with down the back)
Sierra at le Neuborg 12/7 course 2 (loses 50m at start and hits bad patch in straight)

SIERRA succeeds at Sille - Bravo Marion!

Sierra is still quite nervous, but Marion had her away very well and she had made up her 25 metres handicap within 200m, was outside the leader after 400, and in front soon after. She led comfortably until Marion pulled the plugs on the final bend, when she immediately went clear by 5 lengths and held this advantage down the straight without being under any pressure.
