Saint Cloud Race 5

Prix Birum

Stake: $49,412

The impeccably-bred BABAKOOL (5) opened his account at the third attempt with a 2L win at Compiegne (2000m). That form remains largely untested but he is expected to improve for this longer trip. GOLDEN BELLE (7) was a 5L winner over course and distance on her debut and shows plenty of potential. Key danger. PAY TO LEARN (1) appreciated the step up to this distance when winning at Lyon Parilly and is another with compelling credentials. CREATIF (6) is an owner-mate of the top selection. The form of his course and distance debut win has been let down but he might progress significantly.

At the latest run scored a big 4 len win at Longchamp June 6 over 2000m defeating Best Offer with 59.5kg at $2.80. Before that second last of 10 at Bordeaux on May 16 over 1600m, on a wet track; 19 len behind Partir with 57kg at $10. Will find this too difficult.
