G2 – 2500m – Turf
Joie de Soir |
Having her first start in group company on her fourth career start, having already won twice including a decisive victory in a 2400m Listed event at Clairefontaine this month. |
Katara |
She looks like a stayer who could benefit from this slight rise in trip. Slowly away but she ran on strongly to win a Listed event at Pontefract last time. This may be tougher. |
Mystery Angel |
UK trained but three of her eight starts this year have been in France, latterly when quite a close third – after leading – in a 2000m soft ground G3 here earlier this month. |
Noble Music |
Lacked a finishing kick when fourth in a G2 at Mulheim on her last start. Her previous Listed Longchamp win was over 2800m so she has no stamina issues. |
Raabihah |
Runs here in preference to the shorter G1 on the same card. A disappointing favourite when second in Listed company this month following a break when this front-runner had been narrowly beaten in a G3 and G2. |
Silence Please |
Probably best on good or faster ground, she had no answers when a multiple G1 winning mare accelerated past her in a Leopardstown G3 this month, but it was still a good effort. |
Valia |
Survived softer ground than her trainer thinks she wants when narrowly winning a G2 at Longchamp last month. She was a possible runner for a G1 at York but travelling issues mean she is rerouted here. Chances for the stable that won this last year. |
