Longchamp Race 5 - Prix Noailles (Group 3)
HARDY WARRIOR (7) delivered an impressive 4.5L victory contesting a 1609m event at Naas on his seasonal reappearance. Selected to complete a double. SPACE WALTZ (2) ended last year with a 2.75L fourth in the 1800m G3 Prix Thomas Bryon at Chantilly AW in November. Bold show expected. SAINT MARTIN (5) is the winner of three of his last four starts including by 1.5L in the Listed Prix Francois Mathet over this distance at Saint-Cloud. Must be considered. Kameko colt MIRIK (1) lost out by 1.5L in placing second in the previously mentioned Listed Prix Francois Mathet. Notable contender for top connections.

The start before that came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Cagnes-sur-Mer February 15 over 2150m on a heavy track defeating L'abbaye with 56.5kg at $1.40.
