Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 7, 2018 Allowed off at an almost unconsidered 27-1, Martin Schwartz’s Lily’s Candle (Fr) (Style Vendome {Fr}) upstaged her seven rivals and swooped late for Sunday’s G1 Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac to kick off ParisLongchamp’s Arc Sunday with a bang. The grey yielded an instant dividend on the €390,000 Schwartz had paid the night before at Arqana’s Arc Sale. Having opened up with a June 15 debut sixth tackling seven furlongs at Saint-Cloud, she graduated upped to one mile at Marseille-Borely next time July 12 before doubling up in the Aug. 4 Listed Prix des Jouvenceaux et des Jouvencelles reverting to seven at Vichy and she was a last-out fourth over that distance here in the Sept. 2 G3 Prix La Rochette. Settled at the tail of the field for the most part, she was under pressure when gifted an opportunity for a wide run with 300 metres remaining and kept on relentlessly for continued rousting in the closing stages to deny Matematica (Ger) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) by a short neck nearing the line. Star Terms (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) endured traffic in the straight and proved best of the rest, the same margin adrift in third.
