Saint Cloud Race 2 - Penelope Stakes - Group 3
TALJINA (1) performed pleasingly among Listed company at Chantilly finishing 13L fourth over 1800m. Leading contender attempting this more suitable journey. GLAMIS ROAD (7) holds form at this level in view of a 2L fourth tackling the G3 Prix Miesque at Chantilly. Dangerous. KIAMBA (2) was 4L runner-up in a 2000m Listed contest at this venue. Warrants consideration. FELINA (5) rates an each-way chance.
