Chantilly Race 7 - Prix Messidor Group 3 Stakes

The unbeaten ERDENALI (7) arrives after making it three from three at Longchamp three weeks ago. Looks to have plenty of ability and is hard to fault in this step up in grade. SILIUS (5) has some classy form in the book and is drawn well in stall two to strike. Not disgraced when second in the G3 Prix De La Porte Maillot at Longchamp last month and has the be feared. DARK TROOPER (4) has been a fine servant to Wathnan Racing often appearing in big races. Lost his way on the most recent start but this is a good opportunity. MATAURI BAY (2) formerly very smart with Ralph Beckett and is slowly getting his mojo back.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 8 at Longchamp in the G3 Prix De La Porte Maillot on June 18 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Khovikhov with 59.5kg at $17. Before that won by 1.3 len at Longchamp April 26 over 1400m defeating Bellano carrying 56kg at $10. Going well. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Last start favourite; won by 2.5 len at Deauville All Weather LR PRIX DE SAINT-PATRICK June 27 over 1500m defeating Take Me On carrying 56.5kg at $1.60. Sure to be thereabouts again.
