Saint-Cloud - Friday 1st May 2026
VIGNELLI (2) is from the Francis-Henri Graffard powerhouse and this son of Siyouni will be expected to get off the mark on debut. His main threat could be SOULAGE (3), who is a half-brother to Kiss Melody, who won on debut and was placed in a Group 3 race last year. PIPPEN (5) is also one to take seriously and can make his presence felt. THE HIGHLIGHT (4) is out of a smart mare that won 3 races and was placed in Pattern races. He is worth a market check.
KOSUMA (10) is from the master trainer Andre Fabre stable, who excels with fillies. He will have this well-bred newcomer well tuned and she can score on her debut from CHECKERED FLAG (9), who has a taking profile and is from the Graffard stable that knows the time of day. She can feature, as can WHY NOT (3), who is from a good training operation and can have a say in proceedings. LA BELLE ISOLA (6) has Cristian Demuro booked to ride and can give a good account on her first day at school.
ZARIBIYAN (2) has a choice pedigree. His dam was a classy filly who won a Group 3 and was placed in a Group 2 and Listed event. He will be well tuned by his astute trainer and is preferred ahead of AWICK (6), who is also well bred, out of a Group 3 winner, who was also placed in a Group 1 race. He can play a lead role, as can ESTIMA (11), who is taking on the boys and is out of a mare that won a Listed race. COSTA NAVARINO (4) looks good on paper and is worth a market check.
PERSIAN GRACE (5) has shown a good deal of promise in her three starts, with two second place runs and a fifth on her most recent in a maiden at Saint-Cloud early last month. She can edge this over TOO DARN QUICK (14), who has a light racing weight and was a decent third on his second start as a juvenile last year. He will be sharper after two recent starts. LIBECCIO WIND (1) heads the weights but has shown a good amount of talent in his three starts. He has a good deal more to come. YZYA (15) has been placed several times and looks solid each-way. MUST BAY (4) is another to keep onside on his handicap debut.
NO LUNCH (6) is absolutely cherishing life having won his last five starts and he looks the right candidate that will take a power of beating in this Group II contest. SILIUS (7) is another that is in fine fettle and is in a threatening position to strike. He deserves serious consideration. SEAGULLS ELEVEN (5) delivered a considerable performance in the Golden Eagle back in Randwick and although returning after five months, he can run well fresh. NEXT MINE (3) completes the quartet mix and is not without a chance.
CANKOURA (1) was encouraging when running her heart out in a Group I and Mickael Barzalona pilots her which he knows what it takes to win. She has the form to add this Group III to her winning tally. SUNLY (6) is a filly that is lightly raced and has bagged a Group III in her penultimate start. She has the ability to make a bold statement. TAJLINA (4) is another that has the right accolades in place and it would be no surprise if she came out victorious. INDALIMOS (2) holds a place chance.
BOURBON MOON (2) made the necessary improvement into second and meets a field where she could shed the maiden shackles off his hooves. AQUA AURA (6) was not disgraced when running fourth and is a filly that may inch closer than her last attempt if she puts her best foot forward. MIA FAST (13) is another that is yet to earn her first victory and will give a honest account of herself here. HALSEY (4) came close last time out and must be included in everything.
MISTER BLACK (2) was second in command in his previous attempt and just found one better. He has the right credentials to begin his winning campaign. JUST INSPIRATION (5) is much better than her last start suggests and meets a division where she can show massive improvement and creep closer to the winners box. RITMICA (9) is always in the thick of things and if the top two fluff their lines, she could take full advantage. NOTIONI FAL (14) can awaken this field if they caught asleep.
HAMAVI (10) brings an outstanding form behind him for this type of field and has tons of zeal and zest that he carries. He is certainly the horse to beat. AMICO (7) makes his return after running in a Group I last year and if the break does not hold him back, he will be a strong competitor. EUGENE SMITH (3) is always in the money and will hold a money chance once again here. GOLDEN WEAVER (8) found success in his penultimate start and can make amends for his previous attempt.
