Saint Cloud Race 4 - Empery Maiden Stakes
RUMORISTE (5) raced from off the pace prior to debuting with a 5L second in a heavy ground 1600m newcomers race at Deauville in October. Selected to make a winning seasonal debut. Unraced Sea The Moon gelding DALIASIR (7) is a half-brother to winner Dalmanndi. Expected to deliver a big effort debuting for top connections. A stablemate of the top pick LIBECCIO WIND (2) registered a 2.5L second competing in a 2000m maiden at this circuit. Strong claims of going one better. ALAM (1) demonstrated improvement coming home 0.5L second over 1900m at Chantilly AW in January. Of note delivering his initial turf outing.
