Longchamp Race 1 - Qatar Prix Chaudenay (Group 2)
Three-time winner PIERRE BONNARD (6) has enjoyed a good season with a solid third in the 2400m G1 Irish Derby before a runner-up effort over the same trip G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York (UK). Drops in level following a 9L sixth attempting the 2900m G1 St Leger at Doncaster (UK) three weeks ago. Represents top Irish connections. Leading chance. VICTOIRE MAGIQUE (7) bids for a hat-trick after scoring by 1L in the course and distance G3 Prix Gerald de Geoffre a month ago. Ticks plenty of boxes. SPACE WALTZ (4) runs for the Fabre team and posted a good fifth tackling the 2400m G1 Grand Prix de Paris here before a 1L second behind VICTOIRE MAGIQUE. Shortlist over this journey. ASAKIR (1) returns after a break and can improve further.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign seventh of 11 at Ascot in the G2 Queen's Vase June 17 over 2816m, 4 len behind Limestone carrying 58kg at $13. On debut third of 10 at Curragh March 28 over 2011m, 4.5 len behind Shaihaan carrying 58.5kg at $13. Better than that and worth following up.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 5th of 10 at Deauville on August 13 over 2000m, 4 len behind Gazi with 56.5kg at $3.80. Second run from a spell favourite; won by 3 len in the LR GRAND PRIX DE CRAON on September 5 over 2400m on a soft track defeating Bevan with 54.5kg at $2.90. Must respect going up in distance.

Most recently 6th of 11 in the G1 St Leger Stakes at Doncaster on September 12 over 2916m, 8 len behind Highwayman carrying 58.5kg at $4. The race before that 2nd in a small field in the G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York on August 19 over 2414m, 2 len behind Maltese Cross with 58kg at $4.30. Looks hard to beat back in this easier level.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 30-day let-up. At the latest run won by 1.0 len in the G3 PRIX GERALD DE GEOFFRE (Prix De Lutece) at this track on September 3 over 3000m in soft going defeating Space Waltz with 57kg at $6.40. The race before that won by a long-neck in the LR PRIX MICHEL HOUYVET at Deauville on August 8 over 3000m defeating Aeronef with 57.5kg at $3.90. Tough to beat on latest and can measure up again.
