Chantilly Race 1 - Du Castel Stakes - Awt
SAGANO (4) completed a double gaining a neck success in a 1900m conditions event at this circuit. Selected to continue his winning streak. ARDEN MIST (2) is a son of Volatile who broke through for his first win registering a head triumph tackling a 1600m conditions race at this track on his penultimate start. Danger to all. APOLIDE (3) followed up a 1.75L win over 1600m among handicap company at this venue with a 3L second in a 1600m conditions event here. Bold show expected. Galiway gelding MY WAY (1) maintained good form prior to coming home 6L fifth attempting 1600m at this course. Notable contender.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign seventh of 12 at Bordeaux in the LR September 29 over 1600m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Royal Chapel carrying 55.5kg at $25. On debut sixth of 11 at Deauville April 8 over 1000m, 6 len behind Imperial Me Cen with 56.5kg at $16. Shows promise but she looks tested in this line-up.

At debut, 8th of 16 at Deauville All Weather on January 30 over 1900m, 11 len behind Dante Nonantais with 58kg at $22. Better for that experience but may need more time.
