Chantilly Race 4 - Criterium De Maisons-Laffitte Stakes - Group 2
SCYTHE (1) followed up an impressive debut win at Newbury with a nose second in the G3 Prix Eclipse over course and distance. Taken to double his career tally. JOLIVETTE (5) suffered a nose defeat placing second racing from the front in the 1207m G2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury during September. Major threat making warranting thought. VIGNELLI (2) is the winner of two of his three starts including by a head attempting a 1200m conditions race at Saint-Cloud. Strong prospects. AL HAMAAD (3) built on a promising debut effort when scoring by 2.5L over this distance among maiden company at Saint-Cloud. One to note.

Having third race start. When well in the market at debut, 2nd of 10 at Saint-Cloud on August 31 over 1300m, slow going 2 len behind Tuesday's Gone with 58kg at $3. Last start won by 2.5 len at Saint-Cloud on September 18 over 1200m defeating Karakoum carrying 58kg at $1.60. Impressive of late. Key runner who is a great chance to measure up again.

Racing well recently. Most recently rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 in the G2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury on September 19 over 1207m, nose behind Nabati with 57kg at $5. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 17 in a G2 Lowther Stakes at York on August 20 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Libertango carrying 58kg at $26. Went close last time. Huge chance on latest and can go on with it.
