Longchamp Race 6 - Emirates Poule D'Essai Des Poulains (Group 1)
RAYIF (2) could not maintain his unbeaten record placing 3.75L third in the 1400m G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at this venue during October. Taken to make the perfect start to 2026. PUERTO RICO (7) followed up a win in the previously mentioned G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere gaining a 1.75L triumph attempting the 1600m G1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud in October. Leading contender. NIGHTTIME (12) resumed with a head second in the G3 Prix de Fontainebleau over course and distance. Must be considered. KOMOREBI (5) won by a head contesting the G3 Prix de Fontainebleau at this circuit. Warrants close consideration.
