Chantilly Race 2 - Des Closeaux Stakes
Cotai Glory colt SCAPIN (1) performed well debuting with a 1L second in a 1000m newcomers event at Deauville. Selected to go one better. Unraced Blue Point filly SOUFINA (8) is speedily-bred and expected to debut with a big performance for a top stable. Fellow Blue Point filly HINATA GREY (9) is a half-sister to the Listed winner Don Diego De Vega. Holds strong claims of producing the perfect start to her racing career. PIPPEN (4) debuted showing promise securing a 5.25L fourth competing over 1200m at Saint-Cloud. Represents a good stable and a step forward is anticipated on second career outing.

Two-year-old filly who is first starter by Bated Breath out of Flarepath. Should kick off on the right note.
