G1 – 2000m – Turf
All Rumours | Has won three of her six starts and is developing into such a smart filly that it is no great surprise that she was supplemented for this. But this is by far her biggest test. |
Alpine Star | Will be well fancied having not disappointed in six starts including a stunning G1 victory over 1594m at Royal Ascot. Proven at this trip also. |
Ambition | A progressive filly whose last two runs have been easily her best, winning a G2 at Lyon and a close second in a Deauville G1. Best on soft ground. |
Audarya | A narrow all-weather handicap winner two starts back, then stepping up massively to land a soft-ground Deauville G1 at huge odds. It didn’t look like a fluke. |
Durance | Facts and figures reveal that she is extremely consistent. Fought bravely to win an Italian G2 in June but this is tougher. |
Fancy Blue | This classy filly has had a fantastic year, with two winning G1 surges in July – at Chantilly and Goodwood. Found 1600m inadequate last time. |
Grand Glory | A Listed winner here in May but a beaten favourite on his next two starts and raced too keenly when well beaten last time. |
Inter Royal Lady | Has enjoyed success over shorter and longer trips than this in Poland. In G1 French company she will surely struggle. |
Laburnum | She has finished a solid fourth in both previous G1 efforts, latterly when just lacking a finishing kick over 2400m here. |
Spirit Of Nelson | Showed tenacity to win a 2000m G3 at Vichy in July. Adaptable groundwise but will probably find some rivals too strong. |
Tarnawa | Ideal trip is a bit further but this winner of six of her 12 starts can accelerate impressively as she showed here last month with a decisive 2400m G1 victory. Chance. |
Tawkeel | Unbeaten in all five starts, and at Chantilly in June romped to a 5L victory in a 2000m G1, subsequently landing a Deauville G2. Hard to fault. |
Tickle Me Green | Beaten into fifth as favourite in a Chantilly G3 last time but had an unhelpful trip. Generally progressive and suited by this trip and slow ground. |
Zariyannka | Has been competing at minor tracks in Europe with only limited success. Looks impossible to fancy here. |
