Longchamp Race 6 - Prix Aga Khan IV (Prix D'Ispahan) (Group 1)
Winning six of his eight starts to date DARYZ (1) impressed securing a 3.5L victory in the 2100m G1 Prix Ganay at this circuit. Could prove hard to beat racing for top connections. SOSIE (3) placed 1.5L third in the 2000m G1 QEII Cup at Sha Tin in Hong Kong. Leading contender seeking back-to-back wins in this contest. LEFFARD (2) lost out by a neck placing second in the 2000m G2 Prix d'Harcourt here on his seasonal reappearance. Strong prospects. QILIN QUEEN (5) has been off the track since finishing 8.5L tenth in the 2000m G1 Prix de l'Opera at this venue during October. Of note on her seasonal debut.

Second-up. First-up after seven months won by 3.5 len at this track G1 Prix Ganay April 26 over 2100m defeating Bright Picture with 58kg at $1.70. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at this track May 7 2025 over 2000m defeating Oracle with 57kg at $3.70. Clearly the one to beat again. Will take this en-route to some major prizes this season.
