Prix Allez France cont. Elopa was pitched into stakes company after an impressive debut success at Mulheim in early October and acquitted herself with style on two forays to France. On the first occasion she found only Australie (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells) too strong in the G3 Prix de Flore at Saint-Cloud at the end of the month, but looked a different proposition when taking the Listed Prix Petite Etoile back at that track in November. Positioned in third throughout the early stages of this contest, she was temporarily short of room on the rail before finding a gap at the furlong marker. Grabbing the lead with 150 yards remaining, she was kept up to her work to hold the determined challenge of Diamond Tango in the closing stages. Click for the Racing Post race chart.
