Saint Cloud Race 4 - Qatar Arabian Trophy Des Pouliches Stakes - Arab Group 1
BALSAM (3) looks a promising type following a pair of placings with a 0.5L second in a 2000m contest at La Teste on debut prior to filling the same position attempting the 2000m G1 Al Rayyan Cup at Deauville two months ago. Top pick. NEILA AL MAURY (9) made a winning debut in a 1900m race at La Teste before unseating the rider in the 2000m G2 French Arabian Breeders' Challenge at the same circuit. Bold showing is expected. SI CHIC AL MAURY (10) arrives unbeaten after a pair of wins with a 1400m victory at La Teste preceding scoring by 0.75L tackling 2000m at the same course beating mutiple re-opposing rivals. Big claims. AYLA (6) was runner-up that day in the 2000m G2 French Arabian Breeders' Challenge - Pouliches. Not discounted.
