We have a busy day of racing on Sunday with some quality action from Paris Longchamp.
2.50 PARIS LONG CHAMP – NIGHT TIME AND CINARAN HEADLINE GROUP TO FIELD
A wonderful afternoon in Paris features group two. Prix Paul de Mossack, where Nighttime and Sinarn head the field of nine.
Christopher Hades: Nighttime A brilliant two-year-old, he won at Group Three level before chasing home Puerto Rico in the Pré-Jean-Luc Lagardère and showed he had trained when second in the Prix de Fontainebleau in April. Sixth on a wide draw in the French 2000 Guineas, he will find it easy and rate a beater.
Sinarn All-winner Francis-Henri Grafford has been progressing well for the team, winning his last two starts, and deserves a chance at this strong grade.
Affendi and Pitch Perfect complete the shortlist.
3.25 Paris Longchamp – Top duo Tajlina and Senileo clash
One sees a cracking heat. To illustrate, Senileo clashes in this group of three, La Cope.
Francis-Henri Graffard won it last season with Goliath. To illustrate, there are strong claims here. Winner of the Prix Penelope last season, she has yet to win since but was runner-up behind Sunley at St Cloud last time and a similar effort will see her come close.
Senile was always regarded as a good horse; he was considered good enough to contest the Prix du Jockey Club on his second start last season. He returned with a brief success at Bordeaux in April and is expected to repeat that form on Sunday.
Family and Casapueblo cannot be rejected.
12.58 Paris Longchamp – Odyssey and step up to an overnight class.
Exposed Pair gave The Odyssey and Overnight Proceed to Class on this list. Prix Ridgeway.
Trained by Andre Fabri overnight, St Cloud was better than his debut when he comfortably claimed the maiden last month and we should know more about him here. He has an arch entry. The dairies won this race last season; he could be the next to follow.
The Odyssey’s critical hazard rate. A son of Frankel and the wonderful mare Battel, he has been bred and looks just as he did when winning on his previous outing at the track. It demands more and the market must be the leader.
Best of all
1.33 Paris Longchamp – Listed prize where Izmita looks promising for Graffard. A pair of Juddmonte Dispatches And to maintain characteristic
4.00 Paris Longchamp – Fortuna Diamond undefeated for Godolphin.
A competitive card from Sha Tin
6.46 Saratoga – Rank three where Radar is. He was a useful animal for the Aga Khan studs. The Zulu Kingdom sets the standard as a Grade 1 winner.
9.04 Saratoga – Rank three, where Flower Head represents Emo Racing and Charlie Clover.
7.40 am Tokyo – Grade A Yasuda Kanin.
