Longchamp Race 2

Prix Hocquart (Group 3)

Stake: $153,464

LAZIO (9) lost out by a head when second in the 2000m G3 Bavarian Classic at Munich. Selected to go one better. AVIDE (10) takes the eye following a 1.25L second to a subsequent winner in a 2200m conditions race at Chantilly. LIFETIMES (8) must be considered on his first start since a 0.75L success in the G3 Preis des Winterfavoriten over 1600m at Cologne during October. ASMARANI (1) broke is maiden by 3L contesting a 2400m maiden at Saint-Cloud. Strong prospects.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 2nd of 14 at Saint-Cloud on March 25 over 2400m, on a slow track; 0.8 len behind Ephesus carrying 56kg at $5.60. Last start won by 3 len at Saint-Cloud April 23 over 2400m on a soft track defeating Degottex carrying 58kg at $1.40. Going well and looks hard to beat again here.

At his first start to post a big 10 len win. Dortmund September 15 over 1600m defeating Bright Smiles carrying 58kg at $1.80. In form and worth following up.
