La Teste De Buch Race 5 - Prix Deryan - Coupe Du Sud-Ouest Stakes - Group 2
HM ALCHAHINE (1) suffered a 3L defeat in placing third in the 2200m G1 Emirates Championship at Abu Dhabi in March. Looks capable of recording a win. The winner of both previous starts at this circuit MONEER (4) rates a major threat following a 1.5L third in the 2000m G1 The President of the Uae Cup at Longchamp. SHAIHAAN (2) lost out by a narrow margin to a subsequent winner in placing second in the 2000m QAA2 Qatar International Derby at Al Rayyan in December. Bold show expected. MOLFIT (3) is another to consider on his first start since a 1.5L third in the 2200m G1 French Arabian Breeders' Challenge Classic at Toulouse in October.

Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Most recently 5th of 14 at Toulouse on May 21 over 2100m, 8 len behind Farooqe Al Shahania carrying 58kg at $11. The start before that ran last of 7 at this track in G3 on April 22 over 1900m, 10 len behind Hilal with 58kg at $13. Better off avoiding.
