Well, although Grand Armee is almost a surething and after witnessing the seagull race, I won't say absolute. I have gone for a bit of value and believe
St. Reims could run a good race. The only time this horse raced in Australia was in the Yalumba Stakes and finished 4.4L behind Mummify, Grand Armee and Starcraft into 4th placing. It's five runs since the Yalumba have been impressive finishing no worse than 2.4L and winning twice from three starts over 2000m and a 2nd behind Xcellent 1.8L who was favourite for the Derby, but failed. My only concern is the class rise but connections obviously believe he's up to it by flying him all this way for this race and after all he is a Zabeel entire, so 'Winner of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes' would look impressive in any promotional material? There you have it St. Reims from Grand Armee and Savabeel.

One final thought if he doesn't fill a placing I'd nut him and set him for the Grand National Steeplechase!

Cheers
