Chantilly Race 4 - Prix Henri Samani Claiming Stakes - Awt
STRATOVULCANO (1) was starting on this surface for the first time latest and emerged a much improved second at Deauville (1900m). Kept to the same grade here. A similar performance will see him right in the frame. Stablemate THE TINKER (4) was denied by 1L in fifth in a 1600m handicap last time out. Drops to claiming level. Rates highly in the line-up and ought to be thereabouts. DANCE DE LUNE (6) put in a career best when 3.5L away in second at this journey at Clairefontaine only six days ago. Steadily progressing. Worth keeping on side. STARRY SKY (5) has started at short odds on all five outings though scored only once. Should feature.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 11 at Vichy on August 12 over 1850m, 3 len behind Bacherovka with 60.5kg at $1.70. The race before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Vichy on July 23 over 1850m on a rain affected track defeating Grey Reign with 58.5kg at $2.30. Great chance to atone.
