Trais Fluors lined up for this black-type bow coming off wins going 7 1/2 furlongs at Maisons-Laffitte Oct. 7 and over a mile at Compiegne on seasonal return last time Apr. 24, and maintained his perfect record with a smooth score. Employing a watching brief positioned last of the four runners until nudged along soon after turning for home, he quickened smartly to challenge entering the final eighth and kept on powerfully under minimal coaxing in the closing stages to claim a career high with ease from the pacesetting D'bai and TDN Rising Star Ratiocination.
Trais Fluors is the sole representative of G3 Prix Vanteaux victress Trois Lunes (Fr) (Manduro {Ger}), who is the only black-type performer produced by stakes-winning G3 Grosse Hessen Meile-Pokal runner-up Trip to the Moon (GB) (Fasliyev), herself a granddaughter of MGSP Listed Prix de la Seine winner Brillante (Fr) (Green Dancer), who in turn is a half-sister to the sires Run and Deliver, Bellypha (Ire) and Bellman (Fr).
