Friday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 16:55, HENRI MATISSE COOLMORE PRIX CLEOPATRE-G3, €73,200, 3yo, f, 10 1/2fTField: Gilded Prize (GB) (Frankel {GB}), Takerya (Fr) (Ectot {GB}), Blanche De Medicis (Ire) (Waldgeist {GB}), Arkansas (Fr) (Sottsass {Fr}), Warriors Whisper (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Turbulente (Ire) (Australia {GB}).TDN Analysis: Francis Graffard has yet to win this contest and sends forth Juddmonte's undefeated Gilded Prize in this stepping stone to June's G1 Prix de Diane. Andre Fabre has a record 13 renewals already in the books and is represented here by Blanche De Medicis, who finished adrift of both Gilded Prize and Christopher Head trainee Turbulente at Chantilly last month. Last month's Listed Prix Rose de Mai first and third Arkansas and Warriors Whisper are the only contenders with black-type form, while maiden winner Takerya completes the six-strong line-up. [Sean Cronin].Saturday, Newbury, post time: 14:00, THE WATERSHIP DOWN STUD TOO DARN HOT GREENHAM STAKES-G3, £100,000, 3yo, c/g, 7fTField: Albert Einstein (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Alparslan (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), Aqpan (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}), Ardisia (Ire) (Ardad {Ire}), Gonna Fly (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Needle Match (GB) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Title Role (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}), Zavateri (Ire) (Without Parole {GB}).TDN Analysis: Albert Einstein is here to make up the minds of the Coolmore collective as to whether to go the mile in two weeks or back in trip for Royal Ascot and there can be nobody who can claim to know the answer until this is run. Seven furlongs on fast ground should be within his compass, so this might not prove as conclusive as expected but he at least has a top-class rival in Zavateri to push him. The latter might avoid Newmarket if it rides fast as it did when he became unbalanced in the Dewhurst, but is not out of the 2,000 Guineas picture yet and it will be fascinating to see how he fares after such a big two-year-old campaign. Title Role had Talk Of New York behind in the Jumeirah 2000 Guineas and is warming up for a tilt at the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, while the debut winners Gonna Fly and Needle Match hail from stables who know what a Classic contender looks like. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Newbury, post time: 13:25, THE DUBAI DUTY FREE STAKES (REGISTERED AS THE FRED DARLING STAKES)-G3, £95,000, 3yo, f, 7fTField: Blingy's Sister (Ire) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}), Catching The Moon (Ire) (No Nay Never), Domina Ignis (Fr) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Ellusive Butterfly (Ire) (Invincible Army {Ire}), Figjam (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}), K Sarra (GB) (New Bay {GB}), Princess Petrol (GB) (St Mark's Basilica {Fr}), Silenciosa (Ire) (Blame), Spinning Lizzie (GB) (Kameko), Splish Splash (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), Stimulative Trip (Fr) (Hello Youmzain {Fr}), Sukanya (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}), Touleen (GB) (Lope De Vega {Ire}), Zaravina (GB) (Zarak {Fr}), Zooming (GB) (Mohaather {GB}).TDN Analysis: TDN Rising Star Touleen bids to put a disappointing juvenile finale behind her, having been fifth in the Rockfel behind Zanthos who she had beaten previously at Leicester. Catching The Moon is up from sprint trips, having won Ayr's Firth of Clyde when last seen while Ralph Beckett who took this in 2023 with Remarquee saddles the similarly unexposed Southwell novice winner K Sarra who is a full-sister to Pride Of Arras. [Tom Frary].Saturday, Newbury, post time: 14:35, THE DUBAI DUTY FREE FINEST SURPRISE STAKES (REGISTERED AS THE JOHN PORTER STAKES)-G3, £95,000, 4yo/up, 12fTField: Convergent (Ire) (Fascinating Rock {Ire}), Phantom Flight (GB) (Siyouni {Fr}), Al Aasy (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Bellum Justum (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), Lion's Pride (GB) (Roaring Lion), Pride Of Arras (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Tenability (GB) (Frankel {GB}).TDN Analysis: Pride Of Arras showed his liking for a flat track when conquering York's Dante and Great Voltigeur last term and goes well fresh, which is also true of the Prix du Conseil de Paris winner Convergent. Al Aasy has won four of his Stakes races here including this race in 2021, but probably needs it softer. [Tom Frary].Sunday, Nakayama, Japan, post time: 15:40, SATSUKI SHO (JAPANESE 2000 GUINEAS)-G1, €380,000,000, 3yo, c/f, 2000mTField: Cavallerizzo (Jpn) (Saturnalia {Jpn}), Sound Move (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}), Sanono Greater (Jpn) (Greater London {Jpn}), Lovcen (Jpn) (World Premier {Jpn}), Ask Edinburgh (Jpn) (Leontes {Jpn}), Forte Anelo (Jpn) (Fierement {Jpn}), Lord Flier (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Matenro Gale (Jpn) (Epiphaneia {Jpn}), Reichsadler (Jpn) (Siskin), Large Ensemble (Jpn) (Benbatl {GB}), Peintre Naif (Jpn) (Kizuna {Jpn}), Green Energy (Jpn) (Suave Richard {Jpn}), Acrophase (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}), Zoroastro (Jpn) (Maurice {Jpn}), realize Sirius (Jpn) (Poetic Flare {Ire}), Altramuz (Jpn) (Isla Bonita {Jpn}), Admire Quads (Jpn) (Real Steel {Jpn}), Basse Terre (Jpn) (Kitasan Black {Jpn}).TDN Analysis: G1 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes hero Cavallerizzo and third-place finisher Admire Quads clash with the first three home in the G1 Hopeful Stakes in Lovcen, Forte Angelo and Ask Edinburgh in the Japanese 2000 Guineas on Sunday. Recent Group winners Green Energy, Zoroastro, Realize Sirius, Altramuz, and Basse Terre add intrigue in a contentious affair.Click here for the complete fields.The post Black-Type Analysis: Gilded Prize On The Hunt In Cleopatre appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
