G3 – 2000m – Turf
1 | Harajuku | Stays this trip well – strong at the finish when winning a Saint-Cloud G3 and despite a wide trip, was only 1.5l behind the winner in a Chantilly G1 French Classic last time. |
2 | Gold Haze | From France’s top stable but not fanciable here on the basis of a poor show when trying G3 company at Chantilly in July. |
3 | Crohanne | Has decent form at this level, finishing a close third in a Saint-Cloud G3 in May despite an unlucky trip. Absent since a less good run at Longchamp. |
4 | Light Stars | Never dangerous when elevated to G1 Classic company at Chantilly in June. Earlier she had proved capable of winning in Listed company, in Toulouse. |
5 | The Blue Brilliant | Facts and figures suggest race by race improvement for this Irish-trained filly, responding to persistent pressure to land a handicap under top weight in July. |
6 | Mystery Angel | Though thrashed by the brilliant winner, her second in the G1 Oaks at Epsom in June was a clear career highlight. Kept busy but she seems to thrive on racing. |
7 | Light Of Darkness | Adds international spice to the race being a prolific winner in Turkey including at local G2 level over 1900m last time out. |
8 | Penja | Her trainer thought she was the best filly in his powerful yard prior to her disappointing when favourite for a Longchamp G1. Put that behind her with an easy Chantilly victory. |
