Race Overview
GALA REAL (5) was an authoritative winner on heavy ground at Saint-Cloud on her reappearance, so it could pay to follow her progress. Any rain or a rain-affected track wouldn't hold any fears for her either. AVENTURE (6), who followed up her debut win with a creditable 2nd in the Group III Prix des Reservoirs, is an exciting prospect and isn't incapable of fighting for victory with improvement expected on her reappearance. SOME SKYE (2), having finished 2nd in all 3 starts, is a maiden but could make her presence felt, along with last-start winner SIYANDRA (1).
