Saint Cloud Race 4

Auguste Rodin Coolmore Prix Cleopatre Stakes - Group 3

Stake: $151,986

TAJLINA (2) returned as a three-year-old with a comfortable success in the course and distance G3 Prix Penelope. Hard to see her suffering a defeat in the same conditions with further improvement to come. BENAMIRA (1) stepped up from a maiden second at Fontainebleau to win over 2400m at Saint-Cloud. Tends to sit handy and could be an interesting prospect if tactics bring stamina to the fore. MARINALEDA (5) scored on debut at Fontainebleau. Takes a well deserved step up in class. ZIA AGNESE (6) has more experience than other rivals with seven career runs. Already won twice. Deserves to take on harder company.
