Lazzat (Fr)

Showing courage as well as a fair amount of ability at ParisLongchamp on Sunday, Nurlan Bizakov's Lazzat (Fr) (Territories {Ire}) maintained his unbeaten record in the feature G3 Prix Paul de Moussac. Enjoying a lead throughout the early stages, the Jerome Reynier-trained G3 Prix Djebel and Listed Prix de la Californie winner was in front and there to be shot at from 2 1/2 furlongs out.

TDN Rising Star Ramatuelle (Justify) lines up in the former, stepping up to seven furlongs for the first time after a storming juvenile campaign that saw her take the G2 Prix Robert Papin and G3 Prix du Bois and finish a narrow second to Vandeek (GB) (Havana Grey {GB}) in the G1 Prix Morny here in August.
