Fontainebleau Race 1 - Des Grands Cerfs Maiden Stakes
SAMOR (9) has recorded two good efforts on the AW to date including in fading late on to register a 3.5L fourth over 1900m at Deauville AW. Selected to make a winning turf debut for top connections. SALITOS (5) lost out by a neck in placing second in a 1900m newcomers event at Chantilly AW. Expected to play a leading role. SORANO (1) has delivered third place finishes in both previous starts including in suffering a 3.25L defeat over 1800m at Clairefontaine in October. Bold show expected. Unraced Soft Light gelding HOLSTOMER (10) enters calculations with a top jockey booked for his racecourse debut.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation third of 14 at Clairefontaine October 21 over 1800m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Mon Paulin with 58kg at $8.80. On debut third of 11 at Vichy September 22 over 2000m, in the wet; 5 len behind Yser carrying 56kg at $7.90. This is an ideal race to kick off. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 11th of 13 at Cagnes-sur-Mer All Weather on January 15 over 2000m, 14 len behind Frankish carrying 58kg at $67. Second-up settled back and ran on when 8th of 13 at Cagnes-sur-Mer on February 4 over 2150m, in the wet; 22 len behind Persuasif carrying 58kg at $68. Open to plenty of improvement and might surprise.
