Race Overview
A close second two starts ago at Bordeaux, RUE ROY (2) ran with credit at the venue last time out in a better class of event. In similar form she can score this time around. AMBRA ANTICA (4) comes in this race on the back of an excellent runner-up effort at Chantilly and has every chance if she can repeat this feat. DIAMANTINE (3) showed ability last year but has it all to prove this distance. MISS ALWAYS (6) is on the upgrade and cannot be excluded of the equation.
