Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 30, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 30, 2018 France’s Mayday bank holiday sees Saint-Cloud host its customary card on Tuesday, with the G2 Prix du Muguet the centrepiece. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s consistently high-achieving Taareef (Kitten’s Joy) has three pounds to give away to his rivals after registering back-to-back wins in the G2 Prix Daniel Wildenstein over this trip at Chantilly in September, which followed a runner-up placing behind Ribchester (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) in the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp there earlier in the month. Among his chief rivals are Al Shaqab Racing’s Heshem (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}), who was having his first start since finishing second in the 2017 G1 Dubai Turf when successful in a conditions event on Chantilly’s Polytrack Feb. 23, and Godolphin’s 2017 Muguet hero Jimmy Two Times (Fr) (Kendargent {Fr}). Like Heshem, he missed most of last season and was having his first start back when third in the course-and-distance G3 Prix Edmond Blanc Apr. 2. “Jimmy Two Times ran a nice race on his first start of the season and we hope to see that he has stepped up from that effort,” Godolphin’s Lisa-Jane Graffard commented. “He likes cut in the ground and any rain will help his chances.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
