Race Overview
Exciting NORMA AL MAURY (3) acquitted herself well in defeat against older opposition in consecutive Group I races. She will prove an entirely different proposition against same-aged fillies and is taken to confirm her superiority over familiar foe MARWA (2), who should be more impactful on soft ground. HM MOUNTASSIRAH (10) proved herself at this level in just her second outing and she will make her presence felt with further improvement on the cards. MANTAHARE (9) was disappointing in the reference race at La Teste but remains capable of getting into the picture.
Selection:
3 - 2 - 10
