Race Overview
After two modest performances on the all-weather, VICTORIA SQUARE (10) caught the eye with a fast-finishing 2nd on turf at Compiegne last month and will fight for victory if confirming that improvement over this extended distance. SILA GRECA (9) has improved with headgear fitted and she ought to play a leading role at this level with further progress expected. A recent addition to the Michel Krebs stable, AUDELADESETOILES (3) is another with legitimate claims on her return to turf. SALSA ROSE (8), whose efficiency/competitiveness at this level is assured, isn't taken lightly in her first start for new connections.
