Mehmas’s Malavath To The Fore in the Imprudence

Everest Racing, Mme Barbara M Keller and David Redvers' G2 Criterium de Maisons-Laffitte victrix Malavath (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}), who ran second in Del Mar's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' Turf when last seen, stepped forward to dent a host of lofty reputations with victory in a stellar renewal of Thursday's G3 Prix Imprudence at Deauville. Tracking the leaders along the stands' side rail in fourth until angling outside for a clear run approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 37-10 second choice gained a narrow advantage entering the final furlong and was pushed out in the dying embers to prevail by 1 1/2 lengths from last term's G1 Prix Marcel Boussac heroine Zellie (Fr) (Wootton Bassett {GB}).

Malavath is the first of three foals produced by Fidaaha (Ire) (New Approach {Ire}), herself a full-sister to the GIII Robert G. Dick Memorial S. victrix Ceisteach (Ire). Fidaaha is also half to MSW G1 Prix Rothschild and G1 Prix Jean Romanet placegetter Steip Amach (Ire) (Vocalised). The March-foaled chestnut's third dam Sharafanya (Ire) (Zafonic) is kin to G2 Goldene Peitsche victor Giant Sandman (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}) and Listed Harvest S. placegetter Shalamantika (Ire) (Nashwan), herself the dam of G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Shalanaya (Ire) (Lomitas {GB}) and G2 Prix Chaudenay winner Shankardeh (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}). Malavath's G3 Prix Minerve-winning fourth dam Sharamana (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}) is a half-sister to G1 Epsom Derby, G1 Irish Derby and G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Diamond S. hero Shergar (GB) (Great Nephew {GB}). Fidaaha has a 2-year-old full-brother to Malavath and a yearling filly by Cotai Glory (GB) to come.

Rock of Gibraltar’s Rock Boy Wins Djebel Tussle

Team Calas' 3-year-old colt Rock Boy (Fr) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), unbeaten in juvenile starts over a mile at Vichy and nine furlongs at Marseille-Borely last year, maintained his perfect record in Thursday's G3 Prix Djebel at Deauville and went by all six rivals inside the final quarter mile for a career high in the seven-furlong 2000 Guineas trial. Patiently ridden and settled at the tail of the field through halfway, the 15-2 chance inched closer when encouraged forward passing the two pole and kept on strongly under a drive once delivering his challenge with 150 metres remaining to outpoint last month's Listed Prix Montenica victor Loubeisien (Fr) (Kheleyf) by a length.

Rock Boy is the third of four foals and one of two scorers out of a winning half-sister to G3 Prix Thomas Bryon Makaan (Swain {Ire}) and stakes-winning G3 Prix du Lys placegetter Almail (Swain {Ire}). The February-foaled bay is a half-brother to G2 Derby Italiano third Alastor (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) and an unraced 2-year-old colt by Recorder (GB). His second dam Khassah (GB) (Green Desert), herself a full-sister to Listed Prix Casimir Delamarre third Awaamir (GB), ran second in the G1 Fillies' Mile and is a granddaughter of GI Yellow Ribbon Invitational heroine Castilla (Bold Reason).
