Saint Cloud Race 6 - Vatellor Stakes
TOMAKAY (7) returned to action with a 0.75L victory over 1350m at Lyon-Parilly. Selected to record his seventh win in ten career starts. GRAND SCOOP (4) looks a big threat on the back of a 1.25L success tackling 1200m here. LE TABOU (8) placed third beaten 2L in that 1200m event. Shortlist. HAVANA CIGAR (5) came home 2.25L fifth contesting a 1200m conditions race at this venue. Strong claims.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Freshened for 41 days. Resuming 7th of 10 at Chantilly All Weather on March 17 over 1400m, 11 len behind Keshapour with 56kg at $7.10. Last start won by 1.3 len at this track April 23 over 1200m in soft going defeating Danelo carrying 56kg at $4.80. Handy strike-rate and is a key chance.

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 10 at Longchamp in LR on April 27 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Jasna's Secret with 56kg at $10. The start before that 9th of 19 at Longchamp on April 6 over 1400m, 5 len behind Lanzelot Gold with 58.5kg at $12. Unlikely to be playing a role in the finish.
