Chantilly Race 1 - Goffs Prix Robert Papin (Group 2)
Small turnout for a good G2 contest and it's Joseph O'Brien who looks to have a major chance of winning as he is responsible for two of the three runners. KING OF CLOUGHAN (2) comes out on top having scored at Royal Ascot winning the listed Windsor Castle stakes in it's inaugural running at 1200m. Looks to have any amount of improvement still in the locker and will be hard to beat. Stablemate BEIBHINN (3) broke her maiden at Listowel before finishing a fair third in the G2 Airlie Stud stakes at the Curragh three weeks ago. Major player. Amy Murphy's TOKAIDO (1) is seeking a fourth straight win and has a good chance.

On a three run winning streak. Last start favourite; won by 0.5 len at Deauville G3 Prix Du Bois June 27 over 1200m defeating Yuquot with 57.5kg at $1.80. The start before that favourite; won by 1.5 len at this track LR PRIX LA FLECHE May 31 over 1000m defeating Aralia with 57kg at $2.70. Hard to fault form and can measure up again.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd in a small field at Curragh in the G2 Balanchine (Airlie Stud) Stakes on June 27 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Sun Goddess carrying 58kg at $19. Before that won by 0.5 len at Listowel May 31 over 1307m defeating Big Negotiator carrying 58kg at $3.50. Big chance on that form.
