G1 – 1600m – Turf

1

Zarigana

Beautifully bred. Favourite for both starts and has won each very easily, latterly when passing rivals from the back to win a G3 over this course and distance. Interesting.

2

Simmering

Supplemented. Won a G3 at Ascot and a G2 at Deauville, probably doing better still when briefly looking like winning a 1400m G1 at the Curragh, before finishing second. Soft ground up to 1600m could test her stamina.

3

Bedtime Story

Won her first four starts, but a disappointing favourite for a G1 at the Curragh last month, going too fast in front and fading though reportedly lame afterwards.

4

Exactly

Only a maiden winner but has put in some strong and improving efforts in G3, G2 and G1 company on her last three starts even if she does not look an easy ride.

5

Rosa Salvaje

A winner on her debut and running well three times since though without showing obvious improvement. Narrowly led 300m out in a G3 here last month but swept aside by two rivals.

6

Inhebhaa

Made little impact on her only start and it would be a shock on a massive scale if she made any serious impact here.

7

Lhakpa

Unbeaten in two starts, first over 1400m at Compiegne and then over 1500m at Deauville. However, the form of those two wins does not look strong and much more needed here.

8

Vertical Blue

A proven winner over this trip – at Clairefontaine – but failed to justify favouritism in Listed company last time and a win up to G1 company looks unlikely.

9

La Guapisima

Best of her wins came in 1400m Listed company at Vichy. But her failure to make much impact in a 1600m G3 here last month suggests that she is vulnerable.

10

La Ferretcapienne

No wins from six starts and – despite a couple of promising efforts – surely has precious little hope of winning this.
