This looks wide-open though Christophe Soumillon’s presence on Saint-Cloud runner-up Ebaiyra suggests the latter is preferred to Shalamba on her reappearance. Land Of Maybe also ran well at Saint-Cloud last year while Andre Fabre runs three with Solsticia and Godolphin’s Alkandora preferred to Fleur De Ciel. The first-named made a promising start at Longchamp in September but MACCAJA has a recent outing under her belt when second here in March with Papua behind and she gets the speculative vote. True Lolita is a newcomer to note for Francis Graffard’s leading yard.
