Deauville Race 5 - Prix Jean Prat (Group 1)
SHADOW OF LIGHT (2) finished 3.5L fifth in the 1207m G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot. Selected to record the fifth win of his career. SILIUS (7) looks a major threat stepping up in grade following a 2L second in the 1400m G3 Prix Paul de Moussac at Longchamp. WOODSHAUNA (5) won by a head contesting the 1200m G3 Prix Texanita at Chantilly. Expected to go well against this field. COSMIC YEAR (3) registered a 3.75L second attempting the 1609m G1 Irish 2000 Guineas at The Curragh. Danger to all.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 43-day let-up. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Curragh in the G1 Irish 2000 Guineas on May 24 over 1609m, 4 len behind Field Of Gold carrying 58kg at $5. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Newmarket (Rowley) LR King Charles II Stakes May 2 over 1408m defeating Marvelman carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Terrific chance to continue the strong form.

The start before that 2nd of 8 at this track in the G3 Prix Djebel on April 8 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Maranoa Charlie with 58kg at $4.40. Rates highly. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.
