Saint Cloud Race 5 - Grand Prix De Saint-Cloud - World Pool By Pmu Stakes (Group 1)
CALANDAGAN (1) won this by 3.5L last year before completing five straight G1 victories and can be forgiven a wide-margin Coronation Cup defeat on very soft ground. Sets the standard and holds leading claims. AVENTURE (8) was runner-up here in 2025 before landing the G1 Prix Vermeille and returned to winning form in the G2 Prix Corrida on latest appearance. Main danger. LEFFARD (4) is a G1 Grand Prix de Paris winner and has finished second in both the G2 Prix d'Harcourt and G1 Prix d'Ispahan this term. The return to 2400m makes appeal. CUALIFICAR (5) finished 2.25L third behind Goliath in the G2 Grand Prix de Chantilly most recently. Cannot be discounted.
