Saint Malo Race 4 - Prix Rene Couetil Mdn Stakes
NEUF DE PAQUES (12) stayed on late to finish 2L second trying 1950m at Chateaubriand eleven days ago. Should be much more at home back over this extra distance. Difficult to oppose. SAMENESS (11) started positively with a second place during November. Largely struggled since but should strip fitter for a reappearance ninth (3000m). Better expected representing in-form stable. SIN CITY (5) weakened running tenth of sixteen on debut in a Clairefontaine newcomers event a year ago. Easy to envisage a big performance. ALFINA (4) emerged a 1.75L second in a minor event (2600m) debuting four weeks ago. Unlikely that was a strong contest but makes shortlist.

Second-up. First-up after almost two and a half years 4th of 10 at Chateaubriant on July 21 over 3550m, 6 len behind Dionysos Forlonge carrying 65kg at $41.50. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Vichy on May 26 2024 over 2400m, slow going 6 len behind Lovelymatch with 60kg at $12. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Four-year-old gelding by Bande out of Darling De Loriol on debut. Betting is the best pointer to his chances.
