Auteuil Race 6 - De Saumur Chase
LIGHT WAVE (1) is taken to record his third consecutive win following a hurdle success at Angers and a 5L triumph in a 3500m steeplechase at this venue last time. KING CONTI (3) ended last year with a 12L victory over 4400m at this track. Expected to challenge. KAPACA DE THAIX (2) enters calculations after winning a 3600m contest here. METASEQUOIA (5) has been off the track since unseating in the 6000m G1 Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at this circuit May 2023. Danger to all if sharp for his return to action.

Third-up today. Resuming favourite; won by 10 len Angers on February 16 over 3800m in the wet defeating Kremlin with 67kg at $2.80 in a hurdle. Second-up to post a big 5 len win. This track on March 15 over 3500m defeating Chardasso carrying 67kg at $3.10 in a steeplechase. Definite winning chance. Latest figure sound and worth including here if repeats the run.
