Performed consistently last year before blotting her copybook by finishing 10th in the Group III Prix Belle de Nuit over 2800m at Saint-Cloud on 22 October. Not taken lightly on her reappearance

Revealed promise in maiden races last year, winning in just her second start (over 2400m at Vichy) but has shown her limitations at this level - unplaced in 3 subsequent outings, the latest (9th of 9) a 3000m Listed at Saint-Cloud (1 April)

Race Overview
Last season's Group I Prix Vermeille runner-up MELO MELO (3) makes her belated reappearance after an absence of more than 7 months but is head and shoulders clear of these rivals on official ratings, so is good value to make a winning comeback in this Listed event. Both SALTWELL (2), who has already proven her efficiency/competitiveness on soft ground, and DCHINGIS STAR (1), who got the better of that rival in a Deauville meeting last year, are those most likely to pick up the pieces should the selection fluff her lines.
Selection:
3 - 2 - 1
