Saint Cloud Race 1 - Francois Mathet Listed Stakes
An excellent Sunday fixture from Saint-Cloud begins with a fascinating Listed event. WAYBREAKER (5) won the 2000m G3 Prix de Conde Jockey Club de Turquie at this venue before a 5.25L seventh attempting the G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud here last October. Represents a new in-form trainer and could be the class act in the race. Top pick. Stablemate MIRIK (1) is two from four following a narrow success in a 1900m class two conditions event at Deauville AW during November. Rates highly. MARTAGNY (2) looks a promising type and now bids for a hat-trick after a 2.5L victory in a 2150m class one conditions event at Cagnes-sur-Mer 50 days ago. Proven over this journey. Big claims. ASTIRA (7) caught the eye six weeks back with a 3.5L victory contesting a 2150m maiden at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Interesting runner.

Chasing a hat-trick. Returns from a 50-day let-up. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.5 len at Cagnes-sur-Mer January 24 over 2150m on a rain affected track defeating Saint Martin carrying 57kg at $3.10. Before that won by 0.8 len at Salon-de-Provence November 27 over 2000m defeating Ti Amo Bello with 58kg at $1.50. Must respect.

At the latest run favourite; came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Cagnes-sur-Mer February 15 over 2150m in the wet defeating L'abbaye carrying 56.5kg at $1.40. The run before that 2nd of 7 at Cagnes-sur-Mer on January 24 over 2150m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Martagny with 57kg at $5.30. Looking to others this time around.
