PEINTURE RARE has twice beaten High Heeled this season and can confirm her superiority again here. Ellie Lellouche's charge had the British raider back in second when winning a Group Two at Deauville in August and was again one place ahead of High Heeled when seventh in the Prix Vermeille. The easier ground here will suit and she can add to her already significant paddock value with victory. Announce brings an unbeaten record into the race and she holds Shamanova on their Deauville form of August. Sarah Lynx was only fourth that day but improved to finish ahead of the selection and High Heeled when fourth in the Vermeille. She is a bigger threat.
