Saint Cloud Race 3 - Prix Bend'or Mdn Stakes
ZEN POETRY (5) represents top connections being owned by Godolphin and trained by the Fabre team. The colt looks an exciting prospect after a pair of placings with a 2L second on debut in a 1600m class two conditions event at Clairefontaine prior to filling the same position over this trip in a Deauville maiden a month ago. Looks hard to beat. MAYFAIR TIME (1) ran well first up producing a 1.75L second contesting a 1500m newcomers event at Deauville five weeks back. Rates highly. SIDEWALKOFBROADWAY (6) showed plenty of potential in the same Deauville contest last month when 2L third that day. Runs for a notable jockey and trainer combination. Holds claims. NUMERI HOOVES (9) may make the frame.

Raced twice to date. At big odds at debut, ran second last of 11 at Deauville on August 8 over 1500m, 7 len behind Tortsanlot with 58.5kg at $34.50. Last start 2nd of 11 at Clairefontaine on August 21 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Whiskey Bent carrying 58kg at $14.90. Likely to find this a bit tougher so looking to others.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 6th of 12 at Deauville on August 13 over 1400m, 4 len behind I Will Be King with 58.5kg at $56.70. Can do better. Will take a lot from that hitout and shapes as one to consider.
