Unplaced in all 3 of her appearances in turf handicaps, albeit off higher marks. Most effective on PSF but would've benefitted from her comeback run (7th) in a 2150m PSF handicap at Lyon-La Soie on 25 October

Race Overview
Consistent RUE D'ALBRET (8) has regained momentum and wouldn't be winning out of turn - she is a genuine candidate for success. However, KATE DADDY (2) fits a similar profile so should fight for victory too. MOMO NELSON (1) didn't go unnoticed on PSF last time and has the means to play a leading role back on the turf. DEL CIELO (10) has shown progress with the addition of the blinkers and could also have a say in the outcome.
Selection:
8 - 2 - 1
