Consistent filly with sound references/form credentials, which include finishing 3rd and 4th twice each. Didn't go unnoticed when 4th in her first start on turf over 2100m at Toulouse on 8 April - rider's 1,5kg allowance will help

Race Overview
COUPE D'EUROPE (3) and ES XARCU (4) are, as the joint top-rated runners in the race, ideally engaged under the conditions so should find themselves fighting for victory. Improving GRAND ANGEL (2), who was only narrowly beaten on her handicap debut on this track recently, and consistent RUBY IN THE ROCKS (5), with the benefit of her rider's 1,5kg allowance, are also capable of posing a threat.
Selection:
3 - 4 - 2
