Saint Cloud Race 9 - Paul-Noel Delahoutre Stakes
With a top amateur booked HAMAVI (10) could prove hard to beat following a 4.5L sixth in the 2400m Listed Prix de La Porte de Madrid at this venue. GOLDEN WEAVER (8) rates a major player providing his first start since finishing 8L eighth in the 3000m Listed Prix Michel Houyvet at Deauville August last year. EUGENE SMITH (3) returned to action managing a 5.25L third contesting a 2000m conditions event at this course. Strong prospects racing for a top stable. DEVIL IN THE SKY (2) came home 4.5L fourth attempting a 2500m conditions race at Langon-Libourne making his seasonal debut. Worth considering dropping in distance.

Is first-up after a break of seven months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation failed to finish at Longchamp October 4 over 2500m. When resuming last campaign fourth of 7 at Longchamp April 24 2025 over 2500m, soft track; 6 len behind Le Lavandou with 52.5kg at $4.80. Assuming he is back on track this prep so worth considering.

Resuming after a ten months break. Finished off last preparation 13th of 17 at Hamburg in the G1 Deutsches Derby July 6 over 2400m, 10 len behind Hochkonig carrying 58kg at $43.80. On debut second of 7 at Dusseldorf April 26 2025 over 2100m, on heavy track; 0.5 len behind Quinto carrying 57kg at $2.80. Likely improver who is a winning chance.
