Zarak (4/1) showed a taking turn of foot to win the Group One Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud on Sunday.
Stepping up to 1m4f for the first time, the son of Dubawi showed his speed as he passed the entire field in the home straight, before knuckling down to see off the persistent challenge of Silverwave (5/2 favourite), who had been closer to the pace.
My Dream Boat came from a similar position to the winner to take fourth, but was off the bridle turning for home and lacked the change of gear displayed by Zarak.
Hawkbill faded having been keen in pursuit of front-runner Tiberian and it was 12/1 shot Armande who took third in a clean sweep of the places for the home contingent.
