1000 Guineas winner Mother Earth finished in front of compatriot Miss Amulet at last year’s Breeders’ Cup and was third on soft ground in the Fillies’ Mile before that. Lullaby Moon made a successful bid for a Group 3 contest at Chantilly in October and Ralph Beckett’s filly steps up in trip on her reappearance while the unbeaten Philomene drops down in distance having landed a Group 3 over 1m2f at Saint-Cloud last month. Tiger Tanaka beat several of these including Coeursamba when winning last year’s Prix Marcel Boussac but has struggled since while Sweet Lady, Rougir, See The Rose and King's Harlequin all finished behind the runner-up SILVESTRI in a Group 3 trial here last time. Carlos Laffon-Parias’ unexposed filly missed out by only a head on that occasion having been given plenty to do and Olivier Peslier will likely have her closer to the pace today.
