Auteuil Race 2 - Prix Petit Fontaine Hurdle
A Listed winner on the flat INSTANT FRAGILE (3) impressed in debuting with a 5L victory in a 3600m event at this circuit on his hurdling debut. Taken to follow up. Madhmoon gelding RIVERSIDE DAVIER (4) is expected to play a leading role following a 20L second over 3600m at this course on his first hurdles start. SILENCE ON TOURNE (6) recorded a 23L third competing over 3600m at this track. Strong prospects with a tongue tie applied for the first time. Almanzor gelding MARTIN (2) debuted over hurdles with a 12L fourth to the top pick contesting a 3600m event at this venue. Of note in this event.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after two years pulled up at this track on October 1 over 3600m. Previously second-up finished second of 10 starters at Angers on November 11 2024 over 2300m, slow track; a long-neck behind Lutha carrying 66kg. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Useful type. Last start ran on from midfield; finished fourth of 10 runners at this track on October 1 over 3600m, slow track; 12 len behind Instant Fragile with 67kg at $69.70. Race before finished ninth of 10 runners at Saint-Malo on August 28 over 2500m, on slow going 8 len behind Lofsongur Islande carrying 60kg at $22. Should be right in the finish.

Third-up today. Resuming raced on the pace prior to fading finished sixth of 7 starters at Clairefontaine in the LR Prix Du Pays D'auge on August 1 over 1800m, on slow going 9 len behind Phineas carrying 57kg at $21.70. Second-up to post a big 5 len win. This track on October 1 over 3600m slow track defeating Here Be Dragons with 65kg at $3.30 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start. Rates strongly.

Having second run back today. Freshened for 40 days. First-up after a year held ground to the line finished second of 14 runners at this track on September 12 over 3600m, on slow going 20 len behind Spanish Prince with 66.5kg at $29.30. Previously second-up finished fifth of 16 starters at Craon on September 29 2025 over 3000m, on slow going 7 len behind Nos Preferences with 64.5kg at $5.10. Can improve on first up performance. Excellent winning chance.

Had two starts to date. At big odds at debut, ran last in a small field at Vichy on August 3 over 2400m, 7 len behind Good To See You carrying 56.5kg at $19.50. Last start sat on speed throughout then finished third of 14 starters at this track on September 12 over 3600m, slow track; 23 len behind Spanish Prince with 66kg at $31.70. Continues to improve. Looks suited.
