Saint Malo Race 1 - General Macon De La Giclais Hurdle
KELLY ANN SAGA (4) profiles well on paper being an unraced filly by Zarak from the mare Boston Paris. Finds a good opportunity first up. Likely player. SHAMALIKA (7) represents a top in-form yard operating at a 46% strike rate from the last 50 runners. Worth including. MY GEMME (1) finished sixth of seven on debut contesting a higher graded 3400m conditions hurdle at Cholet. Progress expected. CRIMSON VELVET (10) warrants a second look. Something for the Multiples: NEHIAT (2)

First race starter by Zarak out of Boston Paris (EUR € 50,000 (Arqana 2022 Autumn Sale) purchase). Makes her debut here in what looks a tricky race for her. Likely to be well fancied.
