Deauville Race 6 - Prix Gontaut-Biron Hong Kong Jockey Club Stakes - Group 3
CUALIFICAR (4) suffered a neck defeat in placing second in the 2400m G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud at Saint-Cloud. Taken to go one better to record the fifth win of his career. MAP OF STARS (9) is expected to deliver a big effort following a 0.5L triumph in the 2011m Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. The winner of this race last year FIRST LOOK (8) must be considered down in grade following an 8L fifth in the 2100m G1 Prix Ganay at Longchamp in April. WIMBLEDON HAWKEYE (7) lost out by 0.5L in placing third in the G1 Grosser Dallmayr-Preis over 2400m at Munich. Of note in this event.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 10 in the G1 Bayerisches Zuchtrennen at Munich on July 26 over 2000m, 0.6 len behind Hotazhell carrying 60kg at $2.10. The start before that raced on the pace when 2nd of 16 in the LR Wolferton Stakes at Ascot on June 16 over 2011m, 0.5 len behind Map Of Stars with 59.5kg at $13. Genuine chance on the back of the last effort.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign when last in a small field at Longchamp in the G1 Prix Ganay April 26 over 2100m, 8 len behind Daryz with 58kg at $14. When resuming last campaign third of 7 at Saint-Cloud in the G3 Prix Exbury March 15 over 2000m, on heavy track; 1.75 len behind Bright Picture with 59kg at $4. Could prove too smart for these.

Comes here off a 60-day let-up. At the latest run won by 0.5 len in the LR Wolferton Stakes at Ascot on June 16 over 2011m defeating Wimbledon Hawkeye with 59.5kg at $7.50. The run before that ran second last in a small field in the G3 Prix D'Hedouville at Longchamp on May 3 over 2400m, slow going 17 len behind Best Secret carrying 57kg at $2.70. Likely to be attacking the line strongly.
