Let The Battle Begin For The K Generation!
The Prix Comte Pierre De Montesson (G1) is the first three-year-old driven Group One of the year and features the 'K' generation. The Prix Roquepine (G2) and Prix Paul Viel (G2) were conducted over course and distance at the end of January and often offer the best guide to leading prospects in this race. We look at each runner…
Kadinsky
First try in Group company. Yet to win after eight career starts with four placings. Finished behind Karma Quick in a course and distance Class A contest last start.
Kiara de Vandel
Three-time winner prior to stepping up into Group company. Struggled in both the Prix Gelinotte (G2) and Prix Roquepine (G2). First time full pads combination.
Karla de Mai
Bounced back from a DQ in the Prix Roquepine (G2) with a close third attempting a course and distance Class A contest. Career record would indicate improvement required.
Kepi du Home
DQ in course and distance Prix Emmanuel Margoty (G2) prior to a second in a 2175m Class A race at this track. Fourth tackling Prix Timoko (G3) was a career best performance.
Kalicia Josselyn
Three-time winner from six career starts. First outing for a new yard and aiming to bounce back after an early DQ in Prix Roquepine (G2). Good Class A winner over 2175m at this track prior.
Karma Quick
Pursues fifth straight victory. Steps up into Group company for the first time after a course and distance Class A success. Yet to finish out of the frame in five career starts.
Kompostel
Some useful performances among Group company including a third in the Prix Paul Viel (G2) over course and distance. Not disgraced when fourth in Prix Leopold Verroken (G3) tackling a shorter trip subsequently.
Ksar
Looking for a fourth straight success. Comfortable winner of the Prix Leopold Verroken (G3) last start and tries this course and distance for the first time. Continues to improve.
King Opera
Proven Group performer with a win in Prix Louis Cauchois (G3) and placings in Prix Timoko (G3) and Prix Emmanuel Margouty (G3). Early DQ in Prix Roquepine (G2) last start and can return to best.
Kanada
Placed on last two outings among Group company including a second in the course and distance Prix Paul Viel (G2). Holds each way claims.
Koctel du Dain
Wears first-time pads combination. Winner of the Prix Maurice de Gheest (G2) prior to a fourth over course and distance in the Prix Paul Viel (G2). Likes to dominate from the front.
Kamehameha
Winner of the course and distance Prix Emmanuel Margouty (G2) prior to a second in the Prix Maurice de Gheest (G2). Unable to show same level of form when sixth in the Prix Paul Viel (G2). Can return to better order.
Kalamity d'Heripre
Scored by 0.75L tackling the course and distance Prix Une de Mai (G2) in December prior to a success over a shorter trip in the Prix Gellinotte (G2). Expected to win when favourite for the Prix Roquepine (G2) but could only manage fifth. Racing in first time full pads combination and rates highly.
Kana de Beylev
Proven contender to date at the top level. Winner of the traditional trial Prix Roquepine (G2) over course and distance. Never finished out of the frame when adopting this pads combination and must be highly regarded.
