Saint Cloud Race 1 - Amour Drake Maiden Stakes
BARZAMBITION (3) lost out by a nose placing second over 1900m at Chantilly AW making seasonal reappearance. Looks capable of breaking through for his first win stepping up in distance. EXISTANT (7) caught the eye coming from off the pace to place 1.25L second in a 1900m maiden at Chantilly AW during December. Rates a major threat providing his turf debut. CLOTH OF GOLD (2) demonstrated improvement recording a head second to a subsequent winner contesting a 2000m maiden at Lyon-Parilly. Strong prospects. BAROUD (1) registered a 5L fifth in a heavy ground 2000m maiden at this venue. Notable contender.
