Midak
Won his first three races in France last year and started just 9-1 when brought over for the Derby but faded badly into tenth; ran respectably over 1m1f (soft) in October on his only subsequent start for Francis Graffard but an also-ran in the UAE this year over 1m1f (Group 1) and 1m2f (Listed) on both starts since 300,000euros sale in November; plenty to prove.

From the connections
“Midak travelled well but found the ground too challenging for him - Mickael Barzalona, jockey.”
“We've always liked Midak and he had a few issues at two, but he showed ability quite early. We were a little surprised with how easily he did it on debut at Lyon-La Soie and then we were very happy with how he did it last time, though he was still immature and was looking around all over the place. He's really improving with racing and hopefully there's still more to come. He's not entered in the Jockey Club and he wasn't entered in the Grand Prix de Paris either but, like Surabad, thanks to France Galop, he's now earned a free supplementary for the race. His dam had a lot of stamina and that's more the race I see him in - Nemone Routh, Aga Khan Studs racing manager.”
