Longchamp Race 7 - La Madeleine Stakes
ZALARI (3) came home 6L clear of his rivals in a 1300m maiden at Chantilly AW. Can return to turf with a win. GRECIAN DESTINY (5) lost out by a neck finishing runner-up over 1600m at Saint-Cloud. Bold show expected. APOLLO FOUNTAIN (6) came home 8L sixth attempting the 1100m G3 Prix Sigy at Chantilly. Dangerous stepping up in distance. SCANDALO (1) gets a chance to shine following a 3.5L second contesting the 1400m Listed Prix Saraca at Chantilly.

Third race start. Promising on debut 4th of 13 at Saint-Cloud on September 9 over 1300m, slow going 8 len behind Jovialite with 56.5kg at $6.40. Went for a break before returning favourite; won by 6 len at Chantilly All Weather March 24 over 1300m defeating Aurora Borealis with 58kg at $3. Big chance to make it back-to-back wins. Still has scope for improvement and will be tough to beat.
