Forbidden Secret faces tough task

Chantilly, Wednesday 16 November: Nine sand track races and consistently full fields are on offer at today`s event in Chantilly. The Prix du Cabinet des Clouets (4th race/13.55pm/50,000 Euro/1600m), a `Classe 2` handicap, is the destination for Stefan Richter`s Forbidden Secret (Augustin Madamet).

The four-year-old successfully fought for victory here in October, bringing triple-digit odds on the tote. In his previous appearance in Deauville, the four-year-old finished last, far behind Ciccio Boy (Gregory Benoist), who narrowly missed out on victory. Chop Val (Anthony Crastus) finished in the middle of the field. Hans Blume saddled Braveheart (Clement Lecoeuvre), who finished eighth in a similar sand track match on 30 October ahead of third-placed Ciccio Boy, a better result than before at the same place over Turf. Come Say Hi (Aurelien Lemaitre), Fly d`Aspe (Fabrice Veron) and Ciccio Boy battled for the better places ahead of the Blume charge. Brouillard (Theo Bachelot) announced himself third in Longchamp. Roberto Mount (Mickael Barzalona) showed an improvement in Lyon behind the superior winner.
