Clairefontaine Race 2 - Prix Gris Vitesse Maiden Stakes
VOLCANO (5) improved from a third on debut to finish a head second at Compiegne over this distance. May go one better. GEOPOLITICAL (6) missed by a nose to a subsequent winner tackling a maiden at this track recording a third successive runner-up finish. Dangerous. CIEL DE PARIS (3) was sixth at this venue four weeks back. Wears first-time tongue-tie to find extra improvement. SALAM DUBAWI (1) placed second during January producing a career best. Not discounted.

Three-year-old colt by Shalaa out of Khadima having his first start. Purchased for EUR € 6,000 (Arqana 2022 Vente D'Elevage Sale). Will pay to keep an eye on betting moves.

First-starter by Jimmy Two Times out of Adira. The betting is the best pointer to his chances.
