Overseas Expert Column by Bill Esdaile This G2 prize over 2,500m looks a good opportunity for RAABIHAH to end a frustrating sequence of seconds. She has been running well this season without managing to get her head in front where it matters. Jean-Claude Rouget’s filly has finished runner-up in all three starts this year, but they have been over shorter distances and she showed last season that she stays at least 2,400m in hot races. Her second behind top-class in the G1 at ParisLongchamp was an excellent effort and she bettered it when fifth behind in the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in October. That form makes her the one to beat.

JOIE DE SOIR looks a smart prospect. She made a winning debut over 1,900m at Deauville last December and it was no disgrace to be beaten by race-fit LA PARENCE on her return from a seven-month break over 2,000m at Compiegne. That race had clearly sharpened her up as she won a Clairefontaine Listed race over 2,400m in good style three weeks ago. Andre Fabre’s filly could be heading for G1 races and the step up to 2,500m should suit her.

MYSTERY ANGEL brings Classic form into this G2. She finished runner-up behind top filly SNOWFALL in the G1 Oaks Stakes at Epsom over 2,405m in June. Although she was beaten 16 lengths, it was still a good effort and she put in another sound run when third behind PENJA in the G3 Prix de Psyche over 2,000m at Deauville earlier in the month. The drop in distance didn’t help that day so this return to 2,500m should help George Boughey’s British raider.

VALIA took a while to get on top when a narrow winner of a ParisLongchamp G2 over 2,800m on soft ground last month. That wasn’t a severe test of stamina for the distance, and she did well to head SKAZINO on the line as she is a strong stayer. This drop to 2,500m does her no favours but she is smart.

KATARA stepped up on her disappointing return to action over 2,398m at Goodwood in April when swooping late to land a Listed prize over 2,405m at Pontefract in June. British trainer Sir Michael Stoute’s filly has plenty of gears and is still improving.
