Longchamp Race 1 - Qatar Prix La Rochette (Group 3)
AVEC TOI (1) recorded his third win from as many starts in scoring by 4L in the 1400m G3 Prix Francois Boutin at Deauville. Looks capable of maintaining his unbeaten record. VIGNELLI (2) made the perfect start to his career in debuting with a 1.75L victory in a 1200m newcomers race at Saint-Cloud in May. Major threat with a tongue tie applied for the first time. IMPERIAL STRIKE (3) has won both starts to date including by 2L contesting a 1500m conditions race at Deauville. Strong claims. THE HIGHLIGHT (4) broke his maiden in scoring by a head over 1400m at Deauville. Claims stepping up in grade.
