Murzabayev in Saint-Cloud

Saint-Cloud, Tuesday, 11 October: Good sport comes from Saint-Cloud today, where in the Prix Bubbles (4th race/15.35 h/18.000 Euro/1300 m) Bauyrzhan Murzabayev, who is in continuing top form, will ride Toijk, who is competing under maximum weight, for Hella Sauer.

The six-year-old, who was victorious in Deauville this year, will primarily be competing against Lanaken (Mickael Berto), who recently won clearly in Le Lion-d`Angers. True Romance (Luca Carboni) attracted attention in the spring with smaller placings, then took a break and is now making his comeback under weight allowance. Mowaeva (Marie Velon) and Crew Dragon (Perrine Cheyer) also compete with favourable brands. The latter was convincing in a `Classe 2` on 21 September in Chantilly, finishing second to Azov (Gregory Benoist), who was fifth. The Luka protégé showed a strong performance at the same place in the Prix Marchand d`Or at list level just behind the leading group. Pradaro (Pierre Bazier) tried to win the Prix de l`Abbaye de Longchamp (Group 1) last year, but ended up in the beaten field. This year, he won smaller prize money.
