Longchamp Race 5 - Arqana Series - Haras De Bouquetot Criterium D'automne Stakes
I WILL BE KING (8) made a winning debut in a 1400m newcomers race at Deauville seven-and-a-half weeks ago. This looks a good opportunity to confirm the promise. Rates highly. MASTER MAN (7) holds two wins and a pair of runner-up efforts from the last four outings with a 1300m class two conditions race victory at Deauville prior to a close second tackling the 1600m Listed Criterium de Lyon at Lyon-Parilly last month. Big chance. Irish runner BREATH OF PARADISE (1) has displayed promise on both attempts to date with a debut fourth in a 1400m maiden at Curragh before a 1.75L third at the same venue (1800m). Holds claims. Last time Saint-Cloud 1400m maiden winner RYMSKHAYA (14) can feature.
