Saint Cloud Race 8 - Prix Du Haras De Villeneuve Hcp
THE PISTOL STAR (5) impressed racing from the front to score by 5.5L contesting a 2500m conditions event at Deauville AW. Selected to complete a double stepping up in journey on her return to turf. PURPLE BAY (4) looks capable of playing a role in the finish following a neck triumph over this distance at Deauville. MOONEY VISION (3) lost out by 0.75L placing third attempting a 3000m handicap at Deauville. Strong claims of doubling his career tally. Receiving weight from all bar one of her rivals PRIORY ROSE (8) is another to consider on the back of a 2L second in a 2400m handicap at Le Lion-d'Angers.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run got back early 7th of 10 at Deauville on August 4 over 3000m, 3 len behind Purple Bay with 61.5kg at $8.70. The start before that ran second last in a small field at Dieppe on July 18 over 3000m, slow going 1.1 len behind Kinasani carrying 57kg at $8.50. This looks a tough assignment.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 34 day let-up. Last start sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at Deauville on August 4 over 3000m, long-neck behind Purple Bay carrying 61.5kg at $19. The run before that 4th of 9 at Mont-de-Marsan on July 23 over 2450m, 4.5 len behind Fonromy carrying 62.5kg at $9.90. Went close last time. Will take plenty of beating.
