Longchamp Race 1

De L'avre Listed Stakes

Stake: $104,490

SURABAD (1) sets the form standard stepping up in grade. Wide margin winner of a Class 2 conditions race over same distance on second outing this campaign. Deserves to tackle tougher opposition. MILITARY AIR (3) finished ahead of the main selection on seasonal reappearance when second in first-time headgear. Disappointing over 2100m subsequently. CROQUIS (6) improved for the step up in distance winning a 2400m Lyon Parilly event. Contender if stepping forward again. KILLARY KING (5) was a two-time winner prior to running fourth in a Class 1 at Cagnes-sur-Mer. Freshened since.

Third-up today. First-up 3rd of 7 at Saint-Cloud on March 11 over 2000m, 4 len behind Master Cath carrying 57kg at $4.30. Second run from a spell favourite; scored a big 7 len win at Saint-Cloud March 29 over 2400m on a soft track defeating Ponderado with 57kg at $2.50. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.

Raced twice to date. At debut, 3rd of 8 at Nancy on March 16 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Bai Tu Long with 55kg. Second-up won by a head at Nancy April 5 over 2500m in soft going defeating Ballade En Barque carrying 55.5kg at $8. Likely to find this out of reach.

Resumes from a spell. Not seen since winning by 1.0 len Lyon-la-Soie December 2 over 1800m defeating Faust with 58kg at $3.40. On debut sixth of 8 at Chantilly All Weather November 12 over 1900m, 2.5 len behind Uther with 58kg at $20. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.

Resuming after a ten weeks break. Finished off last campaign fourth of 8 at Cagnes-sur-Mer February 16 over 2150m, soft track; 5 len behind Aidan's Phone with 57.5kg at $3. On debut fourth of 12 at Chantilly All Weather November 23 over 1800m, 6 len behind Avide with 58kg at $8.10. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
