Last Ran: 5th October 2008
The Aiden O Brien trained Mastercaraftsman takes his chance here in the Prix Jean Luc Lagardere. He looks to keep his unbroken winning record, he is now a dual Group 1 winner. Hes a tough sort that gets seven furlongs and is the one that stands out, he will take all the beating.
Naaqoos is a nice colt, he has had three career starts with two wins, however he lacked that somthing special in the Group 1 Prix Morny, showing greeness and never getting into the race. However he is capable of better things and he will have to be to win Mastercraftsman here.
Intense Focus has met Mastercraftsman on three occasions but has failed to produce anything special, he came second in the Coventry Stakes but since then has failed to score. Difficult to see how things will be different here.
