Saint Malo Race 5 - Prix De La Cote D'emeraude Stakes
SAINTE SARAH (1) proved a highly consistent performer in recent months. Gained three successes since early May including last start when 3L ahead in a course and distance handicap. Outstanding claims. GREY REIGN (2) was acquired by new connections after finishing 1.25L second tackling 1850m in a Vichy claimer last week. Up significantly in journey which could suit. ZARFAL (4) showed glimmers of ability in a trio of maiden outings. Beaten 11L eighth at Granville latest. Tackles open company up in trip. Not written off. SHALIMAR (7) failed to fire in two handicaps recently. Revisiting this company could see her in a better light.

Racing well recently. At the latest run won by 3 len at this track July 22 over 2500m defeating Lilly's Light carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Before that 2nd of 16 at Dieppe on July 13 over 2400m, slow going long-neck behind Tropa with 57kg at $9.10. Rates highly here and should be right in the mix again.
