Form Snapshot: Failed to make the frame in three runs this year, the most recent over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 4 in a Class 2 handicap. One to pay attention to
Form Snapshot: She has two unplaced efforts since a win at Chantilly over 1400m in a Class 3 handicap on April 22 on the turf. Needs a few to falter
Form Snapshot: Solid performer, 2nd on the latest run over 1600m at Parislongchamp in a Class 2 handicap on June 4. Hard to ovelook
Form Snapshot: Placed 3rd last time over 1600m at Deauville in a Class 3 race on April 8. Unlikely to trouble some of these
Form Snapshot: No show on two runs this year, 8th at Cagnes-Sur-Mer in a Class 3 handicap on February 1 over 1600m when last seen. Look elsewhere
Form Snapshot: Fair 5th on the last run over 1400m at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on June 19. Others make more appeal
Form Snapshot: Placed 3rd on her last two runs, the most recent over 1600m at Lyon Parilly in a Class 3 handicap on June 21. Holds leading claims
Form Snapshot: Finished 6th last time over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 4 in a Class 2 handicap. Among the leading each-way options
Form Snapshot: Finished 8th on her only run this year over 1500m at Chantilly in a Class 3 race on February 12. More needed to be involved
Form Snapshot: Creditable 6th on the last run over 1400m at Strasbourg on June 16 in a Class 4 handicap. Needs to be more reliable
Form Snapshot: Recent win over 1600m at Parislongchamp on June 4 in a Class 3 handicap. More needed in what could be a stronger race
Form Snapshot: Placed 3rd on the last run over 1800m at Chantilly in a Class 3 handicap on July 7. Merits consideration
Form Snapshot: Unplaced last time on July 5, 4th before that over 1600m in a Class 3 handicap at Parislongchamp on June 4. Enters calculations
Form Snapshot: Two unplaced runs this year, the latter over 1400m when 12th at Parislongchamp on May 14. Ought to show more and can make the frame
Verdict
OMICRONE (2) is a lot better than her recent form figures. Formerly rated as high as 43.5, she has often been seen under less-than-ideal conditions, mostly on ground that did not suit. Back over her optimum trip, on fast ground she relishes, and against her own sex, she is taken to return to winning ways. The fitting of cheek- pieces could also have a positive effect. THE SHADOW (5) has been a model of consistency and is a proven performer at this level and around Compiegne, making her the main threat. ZAWAN (3) and PLACEHOLDER (15) both had trouble in running when last seen and are capable of bouncing back. ZASYMOKA (9) makes up the shortlist.
