Free racing tips and preview for Saint Cloud for Tuesday May 19 2020


Anita Chambers picks out the best bets on Tuesday's Saint-Cloud card including the Christophe Ferland-trained Fairmont.

Fairmont appeals as one of the better bets in the feature at Saint-Cloud on Tuesday, the Prix de la Gloriette.

The Christophe Ferland-trained four-year-old is a dual winner, last getting his head in front just over a year ago, and has generally plied his trade in decent company, twice placing at Listed level.

A plus to his chance - and surely something of a pointer - is that Christophe Soumillon takes the ride for just the second time on the Orpen gelding, the first one having been victorious in a maiden at Chantilly in January last year.

Ferland and Soumillon have prospects of a double through Albir in the Prix de la Gaillarderie.

Formerly with Philippe Sogorb, the four-year-old has his first start for the Ferland team and interestingly comes back in trip to 10 furlongs.

Waahaat promises to take the beating in the Prix Nubienne.

A debut win over this course and distance in September saw him go on to a conditions event on the all-weather at Deauville, finishing strongly but just finding the line coming too soon with Bellanodine most determined in front.

It would be wrong to say the Jean-Claude Rouget yard is firing on all cylinders since the resumption of racing, but equally he has had a few winners so there is encouragement to be taken from that.

Plenty of interesting newcomers in the Prix Mississipian, with preference for Royaume Uni, a Galileo colt in the care of Andre Fabre for the Coolmore partners.

He will be ridden by Pierre-Charles Boudot, who has plenty of chances on the card, with the Gavin Hernon-trained National Service in the Prix Birum another to note.

The Elusive City gelding showed a good attitude in running out a fairly cosy winner first time up on the all-weather at Chantilly in December and the booking of Boudot suggests he is expected to progress again.

Sporting Life tips:

SAINT-CLOUD: 10.10 Paix, 10.40 Royaume Uni, 11.10 National Service, 11.40 Waahaat, 12.10 Gannat, 12.50 FAIRMONT (NAP), 1.25 Arum, 2.00 Albir, 2.35 Lloydminster, 3.10 Ode One.

DOUBLE: Fairmont and National Service.
