YOU SAY D’ORSAY looks set to claim his third win from four starts this weekend after producing encouraging final work this morning. 
Galloping on the poly track, YOU SAY D’ORSAY had stablemate EMMY DAZZLER for a companion over the1000m, run in 1.7, sprinting the concluding 600m in 37.2. He will take his place in the small but handy field of three-year olds at Tauranga.
