A quality group of fillies have assembled for the Prix Saint-Alary (G1). A case can be made for each runner. Most horses like to race close to the lead with the proven pacesetters being Blue Wings and Queen Trezy. Above the Curve settles at the rear and runs home. In a small field and the roomy Longchamp racetrack this will suit her racing pattern. Two trainers have won the race on multiple occasions. André Fabre is represented with Place du Carrousel and Jean-Claude Rouget has Sippinsoda. A good race in prospect.
