1pt each-way Mosaique @14/1, 16:00 Parislongchamp, Saturday

1m6f Qatar Prix de Royallieu (Group 1) (3yo+ Fillies & Mares) (Grande Course) (Turf) (3yo+)

Term Of Endearment is a very worthy favourite for this contest and is clearly improving for Henry De Bromhead. But this contest has a wide-open feel with plenty in here needing to prove they stay this trip.

Rue Boissonade ran well in this race last year, but has a horrible draw in stall 14 and isn’t huge odds at 8/1 for a horse that may need the ground to be even softer than it may turn out. Sea Theme and Mistral Star are evenly matched and I’m not 100% convinced either will see out this trip.

Instead, I am going to take a chance on MOSAIQUE improving for this step up in distance. This daughter of Dubawi has plenty of 1m 6f+ form in her pedigree so can do much better at this extended distance. Mosaique has already tasted Group 3 success this season. She also has some classy looking form having finished just behind Survie in a Group 2 and also well behind Aventure in a Group 3. Both of those horses contest the Arc on Sunday and Mosaique won’t have anything like that type of competition here.

Last time out, she was probably done a little bit for pace when finishing 8th in a hotly contested 1m 4f Prix Vermeille where she didn’t appear to have a tough ride so she is well worth a try at this trip. Her odds of 14/1 could be massive for a horse that likes the track and the ground so it’s worth taking a punt on her first attempt at this distance.
