Longchamp Race 2 - Prix Des Chenes Stakes (Group 3)

NESTHORN (4) debuted with a 0.75L victory over 1600m at Deauville. Selected to maintain his unbeaten record. KEANU (1) looks a big threat following a head win over 1400m at La Teste. MISUNDERSTOOD (2) won by a head when debuting in a 1500m newcomers race at Deauville. Shortlist. CACOFONIX (5) is another to consider following a 2L triumph in a 1400m miaden at Compiegne.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 46-day let-up. Last start won by a head at La Teste De Buch July 28 over 1400m defeating So Close carrying 57.5kg at $3.40. The run before that 4th of 7 at La Teste De Buch on June 28 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Hello Jeeby with 57.5kg at $1.90. Sure to be thereabouts again.

At the latest run won by 2 len at Craon August 31 over 1650m on a soft track defeating Beau Gars with 58kg at $13. The start before that second last of 7 at Dieppe on August 27 over 1800m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Quinteplus with 58kg at $15. Looking to others this time around.
