Race Overview
RIBALTAGAIA (4) confirmed the promise of her Lyon-Parilly debut victory by finishing a commendable 4th in the Group I Marcel Boussac and, on the strength of that form, is worth siding with on her reappearance. However, she will be tested by last-start PSF winner ROUHIYA (1) and Godolphin's well-bred ROCK'N SWING (5), who is related to Dubai Millenium. Group I entry LADY INVINCIBLE (3), who beat ROUHIYA (1) when last seen, also warrants respect on her reappearance. Good race!
