Race Overview
CANKOURA (1) and MQSE DES NYMPHES (12) are well-bred fillies closely related to high-class performers. They will attract interest in the preliminaries and could find themselves fighting for victory. David Menuisier has a good record on his travles to France, especially with his young horses and that bodes well for the chances of DIANARINA (4) who should be respected. As a daughter of Showcasing, whose progeny are effective on deep/heavy ground, PRINCESSE MANDEL (6) could make her presence felt too.

1 - 12 - 4
