MILLE FOIS MERCI is by Galileo out of a Group 3 winner. She made a very promising debut at Longchamp in September and though twice beaten when odds-on later wasn't suited by dropping down in trip. She had Aquitaine almost 3 lengths behind in that opening event and Ceinture Noire looks more of a threat. A very good second in a lucrative sales event at Longchamp in October, she didn't handle heavy ground and Group 3 company on this track later that month. Jamilya and Crush On Me were separated by a head when occupying the places on Chantilly's Polytrack in March so have the advantage of race fitness.
